Coldstream Elections, 2011

***************************************************************

If you don't vote don't complain!

Electors have a choice of voting UP TO 6 candidates for Council

http://www.vernon.ca/election2011/index.html

Do I have to vote for all 6 Councillor positions on the ballot?  No.   The ballot contains all the candidates running for office.  Electors have a choice of voting UP TO 6 candidates and are not required to vote for 6.  In other words, if you only have 4 candidates you wish to vote for, you may do so.

All Candidate's Forum!

CRA PRESS RELEASE

The Coldstream Ratepayers Association wishes to announce its forthcoming All-Candidates Meetings in anticipation of the upcoming municipal election on November 19. These meetings will give the Coldstream public an opportunity to question all candidates for both Mayor and Council positions in Coldstream. The All-Candidates Meetings will be non-partisan and will be moderated to ensure all candidates have a chance to present their views to the public. Questions for the candidates will be encouraged but will be in a written form (on 3x5 cards) in order to prevent speech-making from the audience and give order to the proceedings.

The dates and times are as follows:

1) Thursday, October 27, from 7-9 PM at the Lavington Elementary School.
2) Tuesday, November 1, from 7-9 PM at the Coldstream Elementary School.
3) Monday, November 7, from 7-9:45 PM at the OK College Lecture Theatre (Room D310).

The Coldstream public is invited to attend and "meet and greet" the candidates just prior to the forums themselves at 6:30 PM on the dates specified.
