Referendum on electoral reformDeadline extended until December 7

The voting period for the 2018 Refer-endum on Electoral Reform has been ex-tendeduntil 4:30pm on December 7, 2018.

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

Voters are encouraged to return their completed voting package as soon as pos-sible to ensure it is received by Elections BC before 4:30pm on December 7.

Wireless alert testingOn Wednesday, Nov. 28, 1:55pm, wire-

less alerts will again be tested in BC as part of a countrywide emergency test.

Last spring, the prov. govt launched wireless alerting to broaden their reach & ensure more people have access to critical and possibly life-saving information in the event of an emergency or disaster.

This week’s test will identify any gaps and make certain processes are working correctly, allow people to ensure their devices are compatible and raise aware-ness about the importance of emergency preparedness. The alerts will be issued to compatible wireless devices, alongside routine television and radio tests.

Go to alertready.ca and ensure your device is compatible.
