CSRD adopts bylaw to allow for mail-in voting option

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District board adopted a bylaw May 16 that will allow a mail-in voting option for elections

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

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District board adopted a bylaw May 16 that will allow a mail-in voting option for elections and other voting such as a referendum.

Deputy manager of corporate services Carolyn Black told directors that staff received a number of requests to include this option for electors who are unable to attend a polling station on voting day.

Black advised the board that 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.
