<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAdvanced polling days <\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Saturday, November 19, 10am to 8pm, Middle Sackville Baptist Church, 14 Church St<\/li>
- Monday, November 21, 10am to 8pm, Middle Sackville Baptist Church, 14 Church St<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Election day on Monday November 28 will mean a second polling station is open in Dorchester, at the Dorchester Veterans Community Centre. Elections NB has also arranged for a shuttle to take people from the Tantramar Civic Centre on Main Street in Sackville, over to the Middle Sackville polling station. That shuttle will run every half hour, and will also bring voters back to the Tantramar Civic Center after they vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Election day polling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Monday, November 28, 10am to 8pm, Middle Sackville Baptist Church, 14 Church St<\/li>
- Monday, November 28, 10am to 8pm, Dorchester Veterans Community Centre, 4955 Main St<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What to bring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Elections NB says that everyone who is already on the voters list should have received a Voter Information Card by mail, with all the details for advanced and regular polling days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voters are not required to show ID to vote, unless they are NOT on the voters list.\u00a0 To get added at the polling station, you will need one or more pieces of ID to shows your name, address, and signature.\u00a0If you don’t have identification documents, you may also have an eligible elector who is on the List of Electors at the polling station vouch for you, and swear an oath that you meet the qualifications to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What positions will you be able to vote for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This election will be simpler than most regular municipal elections, because there are no education or health council positions up for election. But there will be changes from previous elections. In 2021, both Dorchester and Sackville residents elected a slate of councillors ‘at-large’. This time, voters will have the option to vote for candidates running in their ward. Voters in Wards 1, 2, 4, and 5 will be able to choose one candidate to fill the single seat in their ward, and also vote for a single mayoral candidate. Voters in Ward 3 will vote for a single mayoral candidate, but will be able to choose up to four candidates from the list, to fill four seats on the new council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who is eligible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To be eligible to vote<\/a>,\u00a0 you must be a Canadian citizen eighteen or older on November 28th, and you must have been ‘ordinarily resident’ in New Brunswick for at least 40 days, and live in Tantramar on election day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis definition means that university students in New Brunswick have some flexibility. Students who attend school in one district of New Brunswick and have homes in another may chose where to cast their vote, but they can only choose one electoral district to be included in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students who came to New Brunswick from other provinces may declare New Brunswick as their ‘ordinary residence’ if they have lived here for at least 40 days. But Elections NB points out in their online materials<\/a>, that, “NO ONE can be ordinarily resident in more than one province at the same time,” which means anyone voting in New Brunswick for this election cannot be simultaneously voting in another election elsewhere at the same time. That could mean that students from Ontario, if they voted in the recent Ontario municipal elections, would have disqualified themselves from voting again in New Brunswick. <\/p>\n\n\n\nVoting by mail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Elections NB also makes it possible to vote by mail. People interested in doing so must make sure they are on the electors list, and then contact their local returning office to either request a paper application or fill out an online form<\/a>. Tantramar is part of Elections NB region M09, and the municipal returning officer is Paul-Emile Mallet. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMr. Paul-Emile Mallet
