Municipalities are working quickly to get their voter notification letters in the mail before a possible postal strike.
Canada Post is in a legal strike position as of September 26.
Saugeen Shores officials said they have mailed their letters ahead of schedule. Residents should receive them by October 1.
Voting in Saugeen Shores will start Friday, October 12 at 10 a.m. and end on election day, Monday, October 22 at 8 p.m.
The City of Owen Sound has also mailed out voter letters already.
Voter Letters include instructions on how to vote, a list of candidates along with voter ID and PIN numbers.
Eligible electors who misplace their letter, or do not receive one, can visit the Municipal Office where they will be issued a new voter notification letter.
“The voter notification letter provides voting instructions that enable electors to cast their vote using the internet or telephone,” says Linda White, clerk at the Town of Saugeen Shores. “It is important that electors put their voter notification letter in a safe spot until voting time.”
Voters can visit the Municipal Office at 600 Tomlinson Drive, Port Elgin if they need to get on the voter's list.
