Some residents receiving cards and kits to people no longer at the mailing address at which they were delivered.
The City of Welland is letting residents know what to do if they receive a voter card or kit addressed to someone no longer at their address.
Anyone who gets an extra ballot for the upcoming Ward 3 by-election can mail the envelope back to City Hall or bring it to one of the drop boxes listed below:
- Drop-Box Civic Square, 60 East Main Street
- Ballot Drop- Box at Welland Community Wellness Complex, 145 Lincoln St
- Ballot Drop- Box at Welland Library Main Branch 50 The Boardwalk
- Ballot Drop- Box at Welland Library Seaway Mall Branch 800 Niagara St.
The City says the additional cards may be due to discrepancies in the voter list.
Under the Municipal Elections Act, it's against the law to vote without being entitled to do so or vote more than once.
Voters should only complete the kit that is sent to them, and it's illegal to destroy or open mail that isn't yours.
