VOTING RULES for the 2025 General Municipal Elections

for MD of Spirit River #133 eligible voters

 

To Vote:

Mark each ballot by placing an “X” in the space provided on the right hand side opposite the name of the candidate(s) of your choice. You may vote for up to FIVE (5) Candidates. You may vote for less than the maximum number, but not for more or ballot will become VOID.

 

After Marking Your Ballot:

Fold ballot so that your markings are concealed and the initials of the deputy who issued the ballot are visible, then hand the ballot to the deputy supervising the ballot box. The deputy will, after verifying the initials on the ballot, deposit the ballot in the ballot box OR, at your request, return the ballot to you for deposit in the ballot box.

 

Spoiled Ballot:

If you have marked your ballot in error, or defaced it in any way, you may return it and obtain a replacement from the deputy who gave it to you. If a ballot is torn or defaced or otherwise dealt with by an elector so that the elector can be identified, the ballot is marked “rejected” and will not be counted.

 

** You may ONLY vote ONCE **

It is an offence to take a ballot out of the voting station.
