You can count me in the advanced voting statistics; I voted today. The process was routine and a snap – I handed in my voter registration card and driver’s license to the registration desk. Some kind lady wrote my name and address on a slip, and gave it back to me. I then handed in this slip to another table where I received two ballots. I voted.
The only thing that struck me was that the last names of all the candidates were in huge font, and then they repeated the name and the party affiliation of the people in question in smaller font. I can’t recall whether the names on the ballot were in random order or not. I do recall, however, that because I have 5 candidates in my electoral district, that one slot was blank. The most candidates in any electoral district is six for this election.
After voting, I received a circular sticker that said “I voted!” and I put it on my fleece as I left the building.
If I remember correctly, the ballot was alphabetical to the last name of the candidate.
Me too! Lots of people noticed my sticker. Great idea Elections BC.
