Know where to vote in this month's provincial election
By Kyra Hoggan
Knowing where to vote can be confusing, and election day draws nigh, so District Electoral Officer Don Vinish gave us a clear list of where you can vote, in advance or on election day, in the West Kootenay District.
First, Vinish says you can vote anywhere in the province, as well as anywhere within the district, as long as you’re registered.
If you’re bedridden at Trail’s Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, don’t be troubled – Elections BC will be sending a team of two assistants, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., to attend each bed and help you cast your ballot.
Advanced polling places:
(All from May 8 to 11, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.):
Castlegar: The Royal Canadian Legion at 248 Columbia Ave. (near the Element)
Trail: Waneta Plaza, Unit 124 (outside beside the Red Cross loan centre)
Nakusp: Royal Canadian Legion, 98 4 Ave. NW
Election Day
