Albertans will now have to register to vote in municipal elections

Albertans will now need to register to vote in municipal elections. The deadline to register is August 15. This registration is being done in view of the municipal elections to be held on October 20.

The city says that voters will have to verify their information by August 15 to ensure that their name is on the list on voting day. It is worth noting that voters who fail to register by this August 15 can register themselves in person on voting day.

Let us tell you that one of the changes made during the 2021 municipal elections was the change to voter registration. Due to the Alberta government's ban on electronic vote tabulators in these elections, approximately 1,000 additional volunteers will also be needed to manually count the votes.
