Elections BC Sends Out Voting Cards

Apr 20, 2017 | 6:44 AM

Where to vote cards are in the mail for the provincial election.

Elections BC is reminding you to bring your card to the polling station when you do vote,

Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer says that will make the process faster and easier.

Registered voters will receive a card that includes the dates, times and locations for advance voting in their district as well as their assigned place for voting place for General Voting Day on May 9th.

Elections BC will also be distributing Where to Vote cards to addresses with no registered voters.

These cards will inform eligible voters of the voting opportunities available to them and that they can register when they vote.

More than three million cards are being delivered from now until advance voting starts on April 29.

New for this election the cards will be colour coded to help election officials determine the electoral district in which a voter resides.

Advance voting takes place on April 29 and 30 and from May 3 to May 6.

A complete listing of advance voting places is available on Elections BC’s website at elections.bc.ca/2017-provincial-general-election/where-to-vote.

Voters can also use Elections BC’s Where to Vote application to find voting places close to them and in their electoral district.

The application can be found on Elections BC’s website at elections.bc.ca/wtv. Eligible voters can vote at any voting place in B.C.
