A little something on Proxy Voting

The "Special Ballot" assumes you are in the Yukon during voting hours, but for one reason or another, cannot get to the Polling Station. (See below, and also the Elections Yukon explanation for this).

The Proxy Vote is for the person who WON'T BE IN THE YUKON TERRITORY during voting hours. Or: if you live in an isolated Yukon area, you can register as such before an election is called.

In short, the Proxy Vote exists for those Yukon Citizens who are geographically challenged; the Special Ballot takes into consideration other difficulties voters may face.

This Proxy identifies some other person who you trust will vote according to your wishes, "to vote for me for the reason that I shall be absent from the Yukon during the hours fixed for voting." OR you can authorise a registered political party or candidate to vote for you. The Proxy voter must vote for you at the advance poll, or on polling day.

You must sign the "Application to Vote by Proxy" form which can be seen and downloaded at the marvellous Elections Yukon website.
