Am I on the Voters' List?

The Voters’ List identifies people who are eligible to vote in the municipal election by name, qualifying address, school support and residency.

Even if you have recently voted in the provincial election, we encourage you to ensure that the Town of Kingsville has the right voter information for you. Being on the Town of Kingsville Voters’ List means that you will receive a Voter Information Letter with voting instructions.

To verify if you are on the list, please contact the Clerk's Office at 519-733-2305.

If you do not receive a Vote by Mail Kit before early October or the information in your Kit is incorrect, please contact the Clerk’s Office before Election Day.  You will need to attend the Municipal Office in-person to provide your name and qualifying address.  Eligible voters may also be added to the Voters’ List on Election Day, if necessary.

Ridgeview Hall
124 Fox Street, Cottam

Accessibility

Accessible Voting Ballot Marker, providing voters with disabilities a private and independent method of casting their ballot. Using the Ballot Marker Device, the accessible voter is provided with a hand-held vote selector device (or paddles device, or sip-and-puff device), and a set of headphones, to navigate through an audio version of the ballot, make their selections, and cast their votes. An attached printer then marks the voter’s paper ballot, and this ballot marked by the printer is indistinguishable from other ballots marked by hand.

When a voter with disabilities wishes to use the Accessible Voting solution, the voter places headphones over their ears, and is given their preferred selector device (i.e. hand-held vote selector, or paddles, or sip-and-puff). The headphones have disposable sanitary coverings. The election administrator then initiates the accessible voting session via the administration LCD screen on the tabulator, selects the appropriate ballot style for the voter, and inserts the paper ballot into the printer tray.

The voter is then led, via audio instructions, to navigate their way through the ballot. They select their ballot choices via their chosen vote selector device. The system allows for under-voted contests, but not over-voted contests.

When the voter has finished making their ballot selections, their choices are read back to them via the same audio interface, and the voter has a chance to either confirm or reject the vote confirmation. This confirmation process includes any under-vote warnings for each contest. The voter has the choice of confirming their vote selections, or going back into the audio ballot and changing their vote selections.

All tabulator information presented to standard voters using paper ballots, including instructions, warnings, errors, and other messages regarding ballot choices, are presented to the accessible voter performing the audio verification.

Once the voter is satisfied with their choices and they confirm their selections, the paper ballot is marked by the printer. The ballot marked by the printer will be indistinguishable from a hand marked ballot, because the tabulator has a library of random hand-made marking images, which it uses. This ensures that if the ballots or ballot images are later reviewed, they will not be able to determine which ballots were made by the Ballot Marker Device, thereby maintaining voter privacy.

Once the ballot is marked by the printer, the ballot is fed into the ImageCast Precinct tabulator, just like ballots marked by hand by standard voters.
