Online voting decision in April
The decision on internet voting could be weeks away. Friday is the deadline for companies who want to submit proposals to change the way we vote during city elections. City Clerk John Hannam says that includes a new ballot counting machine and a proposal for remote voting which could mean voting on the internet, by phone or by mail. He says those proposals will be evaluated and on April 26th he will report back to council on possible recommendations. The idea is to increase voter turnout.
