Can’t Make it to Vote? Apply For a Special Ballot.
July 05, 2010
Edmontonians who will be out of town or physically unable to make it to a voting station for the October 18, 2010 Edmonton Elections can still cast a vote.
As of July 1, voters can apply for a Special Ballot package online at www.edmonton.ca/election or by calling the Election Office at 780-442-VOTE (8683). The Special Ballot packages will be available after Nomination Day, Monday, September 20, 2010 when all the candidates have declared their candidacy.
“Edmonton Elections wants to make it as easy as possible for citizens to cast a vote no matter what their circumstances,” says Alayne Sinclair, election returning officer. “This is also now the option for those who previously accessed the At Home Vote, which is no longer available.”
All voters will be required to prove their age and identity with a photocopy of their identification, such as an Alberta driver’s licence or a Canadian passport, when they mail in their special ballot in October.
Voters can arrange to have a Special Ballot package sent to them or pick one up at:
The Election & Census Office
16304 – 114 Avenue
Edmonton, AB
or
The Office of the City Clerk
3rd Floor, City Hall
1 Sir Winston Churchill Square
In order to be counted, all completed ballots must be received by 7 pm on Election Day, Monday, October 18, 2010.
