Your Vote: Your Voice

 GOING TO THE POLLS
Casting a ballot? Here’s what you need to know
With no polling stations in schools, learn where you’ll be asked to go to vote, and what pandemic safety measures are in place
A Provincial General Election has been
called for Saturday, Oct. 24.
We’ve been working with the Office of the
Provincial Health Officer and WorkSafeBC to
make sure it’s conducted safely for voters, can-
didates and election workers.
We want to make sure that voters don’t have
to choose between safeguarding their health
and exercising their right to vote.
What you can expect at in-person
voting places
All voting places and district electoral offices
will have protective measures in place, includ-
ing:
Physical distancing
Capacity limits
Election officials wearing personal pro-
tective equipment (such as masks and
face-visors)
Protective barriers
Hand sanitizing stations
Frequent cleaning
of voting stations and
frequently touched
surfaces
Election work-
elections.bc.ca
ers trained on safe workplace guidelines and
pandemic protocols
Which riding do you live in?
Voting places will follow the practices out-
lined in our voting place safety plan (PDF)
which includes input provided by WorkSafe-
BC.
Some familiar voting procedures may be
different. For example, you will show your
identification without handing it to an election
official, and you will make a verbal declaration
of your eligibility to vote instead of signing a
voting book.
Do your part to vote safely!
Follow the instructions from election officials
and signage in the voting place to help main-
tain physical distancing. You will be asked to
sanitize your hands before and after voting.
You are welcome to wear a face mask if you
wish. You will not be asked to remove your
mask to vote.
If you are ill or self-isolating, do not visit a
voting place. Request a vote-by-mail package
or call Elections BC at 1-800-661-8683 for as-
sistance. DIVIDED UP INTO FOUR DIFFERENT RIDINGS: With the community’s
fast growing population, Langley is actually covered by four different provincial ridings, starting on the west
with Langley, next Langley East, and the newest ridings being Abbotsford West, and Abbotsford South – the
