As required by the Municipal Elections Act, we are supporting the opportunity for voting on Monday, October 24, 2022 for the City of Thunder Bay municipal election. If a patient has their Voter Information Letter (VIL) containing their PIN (which the patient will have already received via mail), they can vote via the free Wi-Fi on their personal device. However, if they do not have their VIL and PIN, and still wish to vote, there will be City of Thunder Bay Election Officers on-site to bring voting options for the municipal election to our Hospital.
The on-site election staff will have the ability to confirm the elector and activate their right to vote. The patient would be issued a PIN number so that they could cast their ballot online via their personal device. There will also be the option to vote in person at the Hospital with a ballot, should it be required.
In addition, if staff have their VIL and/or wish to utilize these services they can also vote.
The on-site polling station will be located outside Volunteer Services and will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST.
As an FYI, voting information leaflets (attached) will be included in patient meal trays starting Friday, October 21.
Managers are asked to post this memo for all staff, and encourage staff to inform patients of their voting options.
For more information on voting, please contact Thunder Bay Votes at thunderbayvotes@thunderbay.ca or call 807-622-VOTE (8683).
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
