Residents who have yet to fill out their ballots on B.C.’s electoral reform referendum have a few more days to get it done.

Elections BC will now accept completed voting packages until 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 7.

“We have worked closely with Canada Post to understand the full impact of rotating strikes on the referendum process,” said Chief Electoral Officer Anton Boegman. “Rotating strikes have impacted accessibility. As a result we have extended the deadline to ensure that voters are not prevented from participating through no fault of their own.”

Voting packages must be received before the deadline to be counted. Voters are encouraged to return their ballots as soon as possible.

If you have not received a voting package, you have until midnight tonight (Friday, Nov. 23) to request a package.

Voting packages can be requested by visiting elections.bc.ca/ovr, calling 1-800-661-8683 or by visiting a Service BC Centre or Referendum Service Office during office hours today (find locations and hours at elections.bc.ca/rso).
