If you’re wondering how and where to vote on Monday, the city provides the details in the following release:

Voice your choice for City Council

The municipal election to elect a Mayor, City Councillors and School Board trustees will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday, October 27, 2014.

‘You Vote At’ cards were mailed to residents in early October. 

To be eligible to vote, you must be at least 18 years of age; a Canadian citizen; and a resident in the municipality, or owner/tenant or spouse of an owner/tenant of land in the municipality.

To vote for school board trustees you must also be a resident within the area of jurisdiction of the school board.

Guidelines for determining school support are available on the City website: www.cityssm.on.ca – Municipal Election 2014 – Voters’ List.

Voting by Proxy

Any qualified elector may appoint another person who is a qualified elector in the same municipality to vote on his/her behalf. 

Proxy forms are available at the City Clerk’s office – 99 Foster Drive. 

Identification

Provincial law requires that voters provide identification showing their name, qualifying address as shown on the Voters List, and signature in order to receive a ballot. 

Your ‘You Vote At’ card is not an acceptable form of identification. 

Accessibility

Tools to assist individuals with visual impairments will be available at all voting stations. 

Free Transit

Use your ‘You Vote At” card to access free transit to and from your voting location on Voting Day.

If you did not receive a ‘You Vote At’ card, you can still vote provided you have identification showing your name, qualifying address and signature – call the City Clerk’s office at 705-759-5388 to determine where you vote.
