Election Accessibility

One of the most important mandates of the Town of Huntsville is to ensure that elections are accessible to all.

The use of Internet and Telephone Voting provides the most accessible access to the electoral process as it eliminates the need for electors to attend a polling station and provides for an extended period of time to participate in the election process. Any questions or comments regarding accessibility should be directed to the Clerk.

The Election Accessibility Plan supports and strengthens the Town's commitment to the needs of persons with disabilities. The Plan will be updated as information becomes available.

Internet and telephone voting was selected to ensure that all voters have an extensive and equal opportunity to cast their vote using an accessible and convenient method.

Persons with disabilities will be able to cast their vote without having to travel, but in the comfort and convenience of their own home thereby providing the principles of independence and equality of opportunity.

For electors wishing to vote with the assistance of an Election Official, the Election Help Centre will be located at 37 Main Street East, Huntsville and will be equipped with touch screens, computers and telephones.

Beginning October 12 to October 22, 2018 at 8:00 p.m., electors will be able to cast their vote for the 2018 Municipal Election by internet or telephone.

Voter Information Letters will be mailed out to those on the Voters' List the last week of September.

Expanded Services:
. Upon request to the Clerk, an elector may request their Voter Information letter be provided in an alternate format.
. At the discretion of the Clerk, a request may be considered for an election official to travel to a location with a mobile kiosk to assist electors who require accommodations from October 12, to October 18, 2018.
