It has come to the Town’s attention that some voters in the upcoming municipal election have received more than one Voter Information Letter (VIL). Municipalities receive their voters lists from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), and due to an issue in transferring the MPAC data to those lists, some Ontario residents, including some in Georgina, have received two VIL’s. While this is not unique in the municipal election process, there may be a greater number of these occurrences in this election.
If you happen to receive more than one VIL, it does not mean that you can vote more than once:
What to do if you receive more than one voter information letter
- If you receive more than one VIL, bring the card that matches your identification to the voting place when you vote.
- For the duplicate card, you can choose to:
- Dispose of it.
- Print Duplicate Return to Sender on the card and drop it in any Canada Post mailbox
- Take the additional card when you go to vote and give it to an election official letting them know it is a duplicate.
- Contact the Clerks Division at the Town of Georgina.
