The Enumerators Are Out

Having just completed our enumeration I thought I'd let people know about a few things that may be helpful for some households.

First, all voters will be required to produce identification at the poll, providing proof of name, and physical address. More information on this can be found at www.elections.sk.ca

Advance Polls will be held:
Tuesday, November 1st through Friday, November 4th, 2011
from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. CST.
And on Saturday, November 5th, 2011
from 12 noon until 7 p.m. CST.
Election Day is November 7th.
Again, further information on this is available at www.elections.sk.ca

In my home, it is likely at least one of us will be away for work during the advance polls and on election day. When I asked about this, I was surprised and happy to be handed an application for a mail in ballot, called Absentee Voter Information form E-127, complete with an envelope to mail it in with. The number to call for information about absentee voting is 1-855-879-8013.

Enumerators are easy to spot. They are wearing neon yellow vests, and come to your door with a clipboard. The process is simple and quick, and the gal doing the job in my area was well-informed and prepared.

This job - done well - makes a big difference to voters, and candidates alike. A big thank you from SaskPolitics1 to those enumerating this time around.
