Township Council approved the use of Internet and Telephone voting methods for the 2022 Municipal Election.  This voting method replaces the Vote-By-Mail method used during the 2014 and 2018 Municipal Election's. 

Internet and telephone voting is fast and convenient, and will give voters the opportunity to cast their ballots from anywhere using a computer, smart phone, tablet or touchtone telephone 24-hours a day throughout the eight-day voting period. Whether an elector is away on personal travel, suffering from an illness, working days or nights, has a disability or difficulty travelling, they may cast their ballot from anywhere with an internet connection or a telephone. Additionally, voters will no longer need to get in their cars and travel to polling locations, reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and no ballots will need to be printed which reduces the amount of paper needed for the election.

During the voting period Township staff will be available to help voters by phone or at the Voting Help Centre to check to see if they are on the voters' list, add or amend their information on the list, use a computer and or telephone to vote, or to answer any questions about the election or voting process.
