been told.
In the 2010 elections, the fourth time the
town has used phone and Internet voting,
there were no glitches with the service
provided by CanVote, of L’Orignal, town
clerk and chief returning officer Christine
Groulx writes in a report.
While the “non-traditional”mode has its
critics, voter turnout in municipalities
employing the new methods is higher than
those retaining the conventional ballot and
polling set-ups, relates Groulx.
In the most recent election, some 5,234 of
the 8,525 eligible voters in town took part.
This 61.4 per cent participation rate is better
than the 54.9 per cent turnout in 2006.
