Referendum information!!!!!

Here are some things you should know regarding your eligibility to vote in this referendum:

In order to vote:

You must be a Canadian citizen

You must be at least 18 years of age on Dec. 15/07

You must have resided in BC for at least 6 months immediately prior to Dec. 15/07

You must have lived in Coldstream/Lavington for at least 30 days immediately prior to Dec. 15/07

You will need to bring to the poll, 2 pieces of ID showing proof of residency – one of which must show a photograph of yourself. Examples include: Drivers’ Licence, BCID Card, Current Hydro or Phone Bill

NOTE: If you do not have a drivers’ licence, you can obtain photo ID in the form of a BCID Card from the Access Center. (I’m not sure how long it takes to process this card, so it would be a good idea to apply for one right away!)

You may still be able to vote if you are a non-resident who owns property and pays taxes in Coldstream. Please contact Kerri-Ann Baggett at the Coldstream Municipal Hall to find out for sure if you are eligible. Call her at 545-5304. (Again, do this soon as it may take awhile to process the information)
