Secure Voting (Sealed Envelope)
Any voter wishing to have their information obscured from the List of Voters may file an application with the SEO by mail, email, or in person, before September 22nd. The application must provide the person’s name and address and include an official governmental document that confirms that information along with a photograph (such as a driver’s license). Download the application here.
After receiving the application, the SEO will issue the applicant a personal security certificate which includes an identification number. That identification number will be used in place of the person’s name and address on the List of Voters. A person who is given a personal security certificate may only vote by using the sealed envelope ballot provided.
Non-Resident Voters
If you own property in the RM but do not live here, you must complete the Non-Resident Voter Consent Form to be eligible to vote. Download the form here.
Non-resident voters must be Canadian citizens, aged 18 or older, and have owned property in the municipality for at least six (6) months prior to the election.
Two non-resident voters are permitted to vote, per property. Each of these voters must obtain written consent from a majority of the registered landowners of the property. This consent must be filed with the Senior Election Official and must be presented at the time of voting, along with proof of ownership.
Non-residents who own property in more than one Ward must designate to the SEO, in writing, the Ward in which they intend to vote before the list is closed to revision on September 22nd. Otherwise, the SEO will select the Ward in which the landowner can vote.
