Falkland mail-in votes possible

The Columbia-Shuswap Regional District board has adopted a bylaw that will allow for a mail-in voting

Falkland residents will soon be able to have their say by mail.

The Columbia-Shuswap Regional District board has adopted a bylaw that will allow for a mail-in voting option for elections and referendums.

Carolyn Black, deputy manager of corporate services, says staff received a number of requests to include this option for electors who are unable to attend a polling station on voting day.

Other proposed changes to the bylaw include provisions for posting nomination documents, disclosure statements, supplementary reports and signed declarations on the regional district’s website.
