HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1995-05-24, Page 3News and Views No reason to lose your vote BY TIM CUMMING Expositor Editor Voters in the upcoming prov- incial election should have received a piece of paper called Form 301. If you have not received a visit from the enumerator or a copy of this form, don't panic. You should still be able to vote in the June 8 election. "Anybody who has been missed has opportunities to still exercise their vote," said Shirley McAllister, Returning Officer for Huron. "There's no reason for a person to lose their vote if they were missed in enumeration." The enumeration of voters in Huron was completed on Tues- day, May 16 and an official list of voters is currently being printed. •Someone who is not on the voters' list can go to the Returning Office in Seaforth to receive a certificate to vote in their poll. They can go to the office from now until June 6, except Sunday. •There will also be a Revision Officer at each of the advanced polls in the riding. A voter can bring identification and receive a certificate to vote. They can immediately vote at the advanced poll or take the certi- licate to their own poll. •Voters may also be sworn in to vote on election day except in Goderich, which is classed urban. Rural voters may vote on election day, even if they don't have a certificate to vote, if they take an oath and are accompanied by an elector on the list for the same polling division who is prepared to vouch for them. In the Town of Goderich voters can ask for a visit from the enumerator during a special enumeration. They must give their address and phone num- ber to the Returning Office by today (Wednesday, May 24). If voters in Godcrich arc missed they can still go to the revision person at the advance polls or go to the Returning Office in Seaforth. There are advanced polls on June 1, June 3 and June 5 in Clinton, Exeter, Wingham and • THE HURON EXPOSITOR, May 24, 1055-3 J SEAFORTH GROCERY1/4 MAIN ST., SEAFORTH — 527-2044 ANNOUNCES lfew Vete 6€e€f • Fresh Meat (Bruce Packers) • Sausage • Ground Beef • Steak • Loin Chops • Smoke Chops • Meat Trays • Cheese Trays AND MORE THIS WEEK'S SPECIALS Schneiders Red Hots 45Og $1.99 Sunrise Bag Milk 4L $2.99 EVERYDAY LOW PRICES ELECTION TIME AGAIN - conducting the work of the store in Seaforth.
