By now, everyone should have received their voter information sheet from their respective municipalities. The form indicating instructions on how to vote online or by telephone and includes a pin number for each registered voter. If you did not receive a voter information sheet, contact town hall to make sure you are on the list. Eligible voters are 18 years old as of Election Day on Oct. 22, are Canadian citizens and live or own property in the municipality. The election allows you to vote for mayor, deputy mayor (accept in Clearview where Barry Burton is acclaimed) and councillors. In Clearview, where there is a ward system, the sheet clearly states which ward you are voting in – unless they too are acclaimed. It also states which school board trustee you will be voting for. Advance polls open Friday, Oct. 12 so, let the voting begin.
