Municipal Elections are different than federal and provincial elections because they are run by employees of the municipality - even election staff are technically employed by the municipality. This is why municipalities do not provide biographies nor a platform for candidates. 

You will have noticed that Candidate Forums are provided by third-party, arm's length, organizations, such as Chambers of Commerce. 

This year the Mahone Bay and Area Chamber of Commerce found a way to still provide a platform for Candidates and published Candidate biographies in their recent newsletter. 

If there is a candidate that you have not yet heard from, you are welcome to contact the Election Team at 902-523-1356 or [email protected] and we can share their contact information. 

Do you have your Voter Information Letter?

9/28/2020

 
You should have received your Voter Information Letter in your mail by now. 

Your Voter Information Letter will contain the instructions for how to vote, by phone, internet, or in person at one of our voting kiosks. This letter will also contain the unique PIN that you will use to cast your vote. 
​
If you have not received your Voter Information Letter, please contact Town Hall at 902-624-8327 or [email protected] and we will make sure that you receive everything you need.

Voting in the 2020 Municipal and School Board Election

The Town of Mahone Bay, like many municipalities, has decided on a paper-less election for 2020 Municipal Election. This will help us adhere to the highest possible safety standards in respect to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

The use of telephone and internet voting has the added benefit of allowing greater accessibility for those with mobility and other challenges that can make the traditional paper ballot method of voting difficult. 
How do I vote? 

Telephone and Internet Voting

​Saturday, October 3rd 8am until
​Saturday, October 17th 7pm

Use the information on your Voter Information Letter. You will find your PIN and the phone number or website address to use. Then just follow the prompts.

Voting in person - Kiosk (tablet)

For those who prefer to go to a polling station, we will have three opportunities to do so. While we will not have paper ballots, we will have a voting kiosk (a tablet) ready for you to vote online. 

The Tablets give us the opportunity to sanitize thoroughly between voters to ensure that we make this as safe of an election as possible, despite the ongoing pandemic.
