Hamilton Township addresses 25-hour election glitch

By Cecilia Nasmith

Hamilton Township is offering qualifying citizens who cast their ballot for the municipal election between 10 a.m. Oct. 15 and 11 a.m. Oct. 16 an opportunity to cast one additional vote – for English Public School Board Trustee.

During that 25-hour period, voters were only able to cast a ballot for one English Public School Board Trustee, although two candidates are to be elected.

The township apologizes for this error, and would like to provide an opportunity for these citizens to cast a second vote. This opportunity is available in person only at the township municipal office at 8285 Majestic Hills Dr. You can vote until 4:30 p.m. Friday, and between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday. Bring photo ID in order to receive your Voter Information Letter.

For more information, contact municipal clerk and returning officer Kate Surerus at 905-342-2210 or ksurerus@hamiltontownship.ca.
