Proud Strong Determined

A handy dandy little brochure arrived in the mail box yesterday, the 4th.

It was from Elections NL, Choose to Vote Vote to Choose. Lots of handy dandy information, stuff on voting by mail, Advance Poll information and some good advice on the Special Ballot applications and where to drop them off.

Pity the deadlines for dropping the Special Ballots off and voting in the Advance poll was on the 2nd.

Would not surprise me if most of the handy dandy little brochures ended up on the post office floor with all the handy dandy little flyer's.

Another thing that is a little confusing; only two communities in Torngat Mountains had advance polling stations for the 2nd. They were Postville and Makkovik. Now I know the government web site is supposed to say 3 communities, Natuashish being the 3rd. But when the local media talked to the district returning officer he clearly said 2.

Why would all the communities not be given advance polls? Like it’s not like they can drive over to the next community who may have the poll.

Yes boy, the Future is Ours by golly.

If the advance poll returns are any indication we could be in for a low voter turn out on the 9th.
Maybe a way to boost the turn out is to introduce on line voting. Then to give it that extra boost introduce anonymous voting.
