This year's municipal election will be different than all others in several ways.
First, it's an election at large. There are no more wards, and instead of polling stations, a limited number of "Help Centres" will be available, one at City Hall, the other at St. Lawrence College.
Second, this year voting will be electronic. You can use either a touch tone phone, or any device connected to the internet. This also means that you can vote from the comfort of your home.
Third, voting will commence on October 18th. This is similar to the old advance poll, except that you can vote at any time, 24 hours a day, from 8:00 am on October 18th until 8:00 pm on October 25th.
Fourth, you will need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) that will be mailed to you in October. The PIN is essential when you vote electronically. If you do not receive this mailing, or worry that you've been left off the voter's list, you can go to City Hall and seek assistance. Don't forget to take proper photo identification such as a passport or driver's license. You will also need proof of residence. Above all, don't forget to vote!
Please contact Ben TeKamp's Campaign office at 613-342-2010 with any questions you might have about the election or voting process.
