Deadline mid-August for voters to register in advance for October's municipal election
Voters in this fall's municipal election will be required to register before they can cast ballots. Changes to local elections were brought on last year after the provincial government introduced a bill that became the Municipal Affairs Statutes Amendment Act. It modified the Local Authorities Election Act, which now requires municipalities to establish a permanent electors register. The City of Edmonton's register is being established using data from the provincial register of electors. The city has a deadline of Aug. 15 for residents to verify their information for its election-day register. Those who don't register by the August deadline will have to fill out an extra form on election day Oct. 20 in order to vote. 'You can still register when you go to vote, but checking your information now helps ensure a smooth process in October,' Aileen Giesbrecht, the returning officer for Edmonton Elections, said in a Thursday media release. The city's register will collect a voter's first name, middle initial, last name, date of birth, physical address, a mailing address if it's different than a physical one, and their eligibility to vote in either the public or Catholic school divisions. More information on how to register is available online. Residents can find out if they're registered to vote on Voterlink, which allows voters to check their status and change registration information.
