Handicapped, ill and aged
electors will find it easier and
more practical to vote in
Canada's 31st Federal Gen-
eral Election.
Two rule changes will en-
sure that such voters are
provided with "level access"
to an advance poll.
The changes are among
those contained in amend-
ments to the Canada. Elect-
ions Act passed by Parli-
ament in December, 1977.
They are:
1. At least one advance
poll with "level access"
must be established in each
urban area of an electoral
district.
2. When an elector's nor-
mal advance poll doesn't
have leveraccess, the voter
has the right to switch to
another advanced poll that
does offer this facility.
"Level access" means a
ramp or other level entry to a
Voting place, not requiring
the use of stairs or steps.
Advance polls will be set
up for voting prior to normal
election day. They will be
open from noon to 8 pim. on
May 12th, May 14th and May
15th. The handicapped, ill,
aged - and those unable to
vote on normal election day -
are among those who may
use advance polls.
If an elector is qualified to
vote at an advance poll but
the polling station isn't
equipped with level access,
the elector may apply for a
transfer certificate from the
Returning Officer, if the
application is mactitefore
noon on May This
certificate will permitjhe
elector to vote at 'atelier
station that does have level
access.
Notices of an advance poll
that are published or posted
must, for the first time,
indicate whether the poll has
level access. As well, the
notices will state that a voter
may apply for a transfer
certificate to another poll and
explain how and where to
.obtain one.
A voter must have his
name on the voters' list of his
polling division, whether
rural or urban, to vote at an
advance poll.
