Electoral Information


Having never been closely involved in an Election, your Blogress is interested in the details. I DO know, however, that the Election Act and its regulations are meant to ensure that we don't have elections like Zimbabwe's (is that benighted country still in the Commonwealth?) Each District has its own Returning Officer (PC Centre is Joanne Green) and its own Office (45 Boxwood Cr, Church of the Northern Apostles, phone is 667 - 8721 and hours are Mon to Fri 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

The Big Dates are: Revision (when you aren't on the List, or they mispelled it, or something), at the Returning Office. next Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept 26/27), 9 am to 9 pm.

There will be an Advance Poll (in case you won't be here on the 10th October) at Selkirk Elementary School, Sunday Oct 1 AND Monday Oct 2, from 2 pm to 8 pm.

Obviously, the Elections people WANT YOU ALL TO GET OUT AND VOTE!

And then, there are a couple of items I learned about this past weekend:
Special Ballot. And Proxy Vote.

Look to the next entry for info re that, or go to the ElectionsYukon Site for an excellent explanation.
