13 days until Election Day - Where to vote
Although we have less than two weeks to go until the provincial election, there’s still plenty of time and options to register to vote, if you haven’t done so, as well as many opportunities to vote in Peace River North.
At the district electoral office – located at 1-10628 Peck Lane, near TJ’s Restaurant on the Alaska Highway frontage road heading towards Charlie Lake – prospective voters can register to vote or update their information. The district electoral office has voter information packages, mail-by-vote packages, and accessible voting.
Voting at the district electoral office is available now until October 19 at 4 p.m.
Advance voting will be available from October 10 to 13, and October 15 to 16 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. The district electoral offices will be closed on Monday October 14 for Thanksgiving. Locations for Advance Voting can be found in the above chart.
In addition to voting at the district electoral office, or in the advance polls, voting by mail is another option. Voters can request a vote-by-mail package online, by phone at 1-800-661-8683 or by visiting the district electoral office. Elections BC must receive the completed package before 8 p.m., Pacific Time on October 19, Final Voting Day. More information can be found on the Vote By Mail webpage.
Final Voting Day is Saturday, October 19. Voting places will be open from 8 a.m., to 8 p.m. Pacific Time. See the charts below for the Voting Places in Peace River North.
If you haven’t registered to vote, or need to update your information with Elections BC, you can do so by visiting the district electoral office, online at Elections BC, or by calling 1-800-661-8683. You can also register to vote at the Voting Place on election day, but the voting process will take longer.
Regardless of the voting opportunity voters chose, all voters must prove their identity and residential address to receive a ballot.
Voters are entitled to time off work to vote – four consecutive hours during Advance Voting days or on Final Voting Day. The time off doesn’t necessarily mean four hours off work, but rather time off at the beginning or end of an employee’s shift if they would otherwise be at working during voting hours.
