Murray Wood: Western separation talk borders on the absurd
Western separation isn't new, as Murray Wood reminds us. From fringe parties in the 1980s to bizarre border ideas today,...
The 2016 civic election is fast-approaching, with voting options becoming publicly available starting early July.
Eligible voters who anticipate not being able to cast a ballot at an advance poll between Oct. 15-22, or on Election Day Oct. 26, can still take part through the mail-in ballot process.
It’s a little different than the usual step-up-and-vote practice:
- Applications to vote by mail must be made in person at the city clerk’s office at Saskatoon City Hall.
- Voters who apply to vote by mail will be required to complete a voter’s registration form and to establish their identity and residence.
- A Saskatchewan Drivers’ License is the best identification option for establishing your identity and residence. Other identification options are available; for a complete list visit saskatoon.ca/election2016 or call 306-975-3240.
Once a voter has applied, a mail-in ballot package will be sent via none other than the mail in early October.
It includes a ballot, along with instructions on how to complete and return the package. A self-addressed return envelope will be provided.
Ballots must be received by the returning officer by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Wednesday, Oct. 26.
