Municipal elections are being held in cities, towns and regional districts across the province on Saturday.
It’s your chance to elect the candidates you want to represent you on local councils, regional district boards of directors, and school trustees.
Voting takes place from 8am to 8pm tomorrow at several locations throughout the Cowichan Valley.
BC Transit is offering free service all day Saturday to help people get to the polling stations. However, it does not include the number 44 Cowichan Valley Connector or the number 70 Nanaimo Cowichan Express.
If you are not on the voters list, you may register at the polling stations.
To do so, you must declare that you meet the requirements to be registered, so bring two pieces of identification to prove your identity and residence.
The proof of identity can include a driver’s licence, BC Identification Card, BC Care Card, ICBC Owner’s Certificate of Insurance and Vehicle Licence, a Citizenship Card, a credit or debit card issued by a bank, or a property tax notice.
