I'm so curious, what the
@CityOfVictoria ballot will look like for #YYJElxn, with 37 candidates for councillor alone (+ mayor +school trustee) #VictoriaVotes2022 #YYJPoli

2/ Are you registered? (are your friends/neighbours registered, or do they need help to do so?) #VictoriaVotes2022 #YYJElxn #YYJPoli
Check here: voterslist.victoria.ca/voterlist/home…

3/How are you planning to cast your vote
#VictoriaVotes2022 #YYJElxn #YYJPoli
in person? in advance?
or by mail? To receive a mail ballot, you need to complete and submit an application form.
mailballot.victoria.ca/(S(0vw0vrqwn13… You can also request a mail ballot by calling 250.361.0571.

4/I'm still trying to avoid un-masked crowds, so opting for mail in. But timeline is tight, mailed from city Sept 26/returns by mail must be rec'd by Oct 06 -after that must return it in person/not mail-so check out the details carefully.

5/ Which kind of defeats the entire purpose of using Mail in to avoid going in person to one of the locations.
Dear @CityOfVictoria -a ? If I return my mail in ballot in person-is there a separate queue to facilitate drop off, or will we need to wait in line? #VictoriaVotes2022

6/ #VictoriaVotes2022 Another ? for @CityOfVictoria and/or for any candidates. Are there any 'Special Voting Opportunities' planned for LTC or assisted living facilities? How do we ensure those residents are able to vote? It's an #accessibility #inclusion issue to me. #YYJElxn

7/ Although @CityOfVictoria election procedures bylaw 22-051 allows for special voting opportunities (hospitals/LTC); I don't see any listed on their "Info for voters" web page. #YYJElxn #VictoriaVotes2022 #YYJPoli

8/ Why does @CityOfVictoria offer 2 advance locations(Our Place+UVic)+cityhall,for targeted groups-who btw can also vote on 10/15; but none for populations which I fear are faced w/gr8er difficulties to vote ie: LTC/assisted living? #YYJElxn #YYJPoli #accessibility

9/ Many seniors can't get out to vote at all, or if they are somewhat mobile; face considerable hardship in securing transportation to polls; and in having to wait in long lines. Why no special or advance voting procedures for them? @CityOfVictoria #YYJElxn #VictoriaVotes2022

10/Many seniors also, aren't computer savvy. Do they even *know* that if they can't get out to vote,they can apply for mail in ballot or how to do so? Who is getting the word out to them? @CityOfVictoria #YYJElxn candidates. How do we ensure #VictoriaVotes2022 is *all* of #YYJ
