Folks, who have not yet voted in the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) referendum but still want to hand in their yellow ballot packets, are reminded voting in the 2011 HST Referendum closes at 4:30 p.m. on Friday (Aug. 5).
This is when all completed ballot packages must be received by Elections BC, a Service BC Centre or an Elections BC Collection Centre.
“The yellow ballot package must be in the hands of Elections BC or a Service BC Centre by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, acting Chief Electoral Officer Craig James says, adding postmarks will not be accepted as proof of meeting the deadline.”
South Cariboo residents’ best chance of having their ballots counted requires a visit to the Service BC Centre in 100 Mile House at 300 Cariboo Highway (97). For hours of operation, call 250-395 7832.
Referendum results are expected to be reported in early September.
