Advance poll for Medicine Hat election is now open.
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Voters can have their first opportunity to cast their ballots in the 2017 Municipal Election with the opening of the advance poll for Medicine Hat.
The first advance poll is open Saturday October 7th from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at City Hall. Residents can vote on their choices for mayor, city council and school board trustees for SD76 and the Medicine Hat Catholic Board of Education. Returning Officer, Anglea Cruickshank said any residents can vote in advance at the polls.
“It’s designed for those people who aren’t around on the 16th, which is election day, so people can come all week and cast their vote in plenty of time,” she explained.
Cruickshank said the city is trialling out some new equipment during the advance poll, giving Medicine Hat residents the option of traditional pencil and paper or the Express Vote machine.
