With the Town of The Pas municipal election approaching, eligible voters have several options to make sure their ballots are counted.

 

Advance voting takes place today, Wednesday, October 21st, from eight a.m. until eight p.m. at the Town Office, 81 Edwards Avenue.

 

The opportunity is available to qualified voters who have reason to believe they will be absent or unable to attend their regular polling place on election day, October 28th.

 

For voters who cannot attend in person, applications for voting by sealed envelope can also be made at the Town Office, in writing, or by email to Senior Election Official Julie Fothergill at julie@townofthepas.ca.

 

The town says applications for sealed-envelope voting are being accepted until October 25th. Voters applying in person may pick up their ballot package at the time of application, while mail and email applicants will receive their package by regular post or through alternative arrangements with the election official.

 

On election day, voters will elect one mayor and six councillors.

 

The regular election-day polling station will be the Pas Métis Hall at 1515 Gordon Avenue, open from eight a.m. until eight p.m. next Wednesday.
