EMBRUN l The Township of Russell con- !rms the next municipal election will be decided by electronic and telephone vot- ing only, with no method of voting in per- son by paper ballot. Township clerk Joanne Camire La$amme stated the 2014 Municipal Elections will be done by telephone voting or internet vot- ing as noted on the Township’s website. “No paper ballot or tabulators will be used in the 2014 municipal elections,” said La$amme. “The 2014 Voters’ Guide for Ontario Muni- cipal and School Board Elections from the province is posted on the website,” she said, as well as information on telephone voting and internet voting, election procedures, online voting video demos, and questions and answers. The information will be bilin- gual. The voting period begins Wednesday, October 22, 2014 and runs until Monday, October 27, 2014. Eligible voters will re- ceive a voter information letter, including a personal identi!cation number (PIN), in the mail !ve to seven days before the !rst voting day. Voters must enter this PIN and date of birth.
A help centre will be located at the Town- ship Hall, 717, Notre Dame Street, Embrun between October 22 and 27 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the weekend, and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, October 27.
