Municipal Elections – Tiny Township – Mark Your Calendar
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE TO BE ON THE VOTERS’ LIST? You are eligible to vote if: (1) a resident of the Township or (2) the owner of land in the Township or the owner’s “spouse” (as defined by the Act). Of course, all voters must be at least 18 years old and Canadian citizens. [If your cottage property is registered in the name of only one spouse, the other spouse is eligible to be added to the voter’s list.]
ARE YOU ON THE VOTERS’ LIST? A Voter Identification Notice 1994 (VIN) has been mailed by the Minister of Revenue. Each person named in the VIN should also appear in the preliminary voters’ list. If your home did not receive a VIN or, if your home received a VIN and your name is not included on the VIN, by October 14, 1994, you should contact the Clerk and ask for an application form for revision of the voters’ list. Request a separate form for each person asking to be added to the voter’s list. Upon receipt of the form, the person requesting to be added to the voters’ list should complete the form and return it to the Clerk by October 14, 1994.
