Proposed Approval of Alternative Voting Bylaw

: Published: June 26, 2020, 4:40 pm

Due to the challenges of holding an election during a pandemic, on June 23, 2020, Lunenburg Town Council gave first reading of an Alternative Voting Bylaw. The purpose of the bylaw is to provide that during Municipal and CSAP Elections, voting may take place by telephone or via the internet (or a combination of both). Under the proposed bylaw, voting by telephone and/or internet shall be permitted on days fixed by Resolution of Council and Council may by resolution provide that voting by telephone and by personal computing device shall be the only means of voting for an election.

The proposed bylaw enables the Town to allow voting by telephone and/or by internet on a number of days, which may be easier and safer for electors during a pandemic.

Council intends to consider and to give second and final reading of the proposed Alternative Voting Bylaw at the Council meeting to be held on Tuesday the 28th day of July 2020 at 2:00 pm. At the July 28th meeting, the Town Solicitor will be recommending amendments concerning spoiled ballots and rejected ballots, before second reading of the bylaw.
