Voter ID cards mailed out

Voter Identification Number (VIN) cards went out last week to Chatham-Kent residents who have registered or are on the voter’s list.

The cards contain each eligible elector’s name and address and are used during online voting, advance polls and on Election Day.

Electors should check to make sure the information on the cards is correct.

If it isn’t, they need to complete and sign an EL 15 (Application to Amend the Voter’s List) that is available on the municipal website, https://www.chatham-kent.ca/local-government/municipal-elections, or at any municipal service centre. The completed forms need to be returned, in-person to the service centre, accompanied by ID.

Election staff will process changes and provide an updated VIN card. Updated VIN cards can be issued through e-mail, however, any new VIN card applications must be done in person for voter identity verification purposes.

Anyone who does not receive a VIN card by Sept. 28 should visit their closest municipal centre and complete the EL15 form to have one issued.

Online voting begins Oct. 1 at 10 a.m. and ends Oct. 14 at 10 p.m.

Advance polls will be held Oct. 11, 12 and 13 – times and locations can be found online at www.ckelection.com.

Election Day is Oct. 22 with polls open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
