Increased citizen engagement and improved voter turnout for this year’s federal election are the goals of an election website launched by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB).
No Vote, No Voice is a free non-partisan “virtual podium” for electoral candidates running in the four ridings that comprise the VIREB area, inlcuding Courtenay-Alberni. Voters can obtain details on a particular candidate at www.novotenovoice.ca.
The site includes an interactive map with the various ridings to ensure people can find their local candidates quickly, and it works equally well on desktop computers and mobile devices.
“By providing this level of 24/7 exposure, we offer voters a powerful resource to help them make informed choices on Election Day,” said VIREB President Jason Finlayson. — NEWS Staff
