News Release

FREDERICTON (GNB) – Voters in the provincial ridings of Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore, Dieppe and Restigouche-Chaleur will receive voter information cards in the mail this week advising them of the options available for the April 24 byelections.

“In order to ensure the fastest service possible, we encourage people to bring their voter information cards with them,” said Chief Electoral Officer Kimberly Poffenroth. “Each card contains a barcode, unique to that voter, which allows our workers to quickly look them up on the voters list and send them on their way with a ballot.”

Each household or apartment will receive an envelope from Elections NB which contains the voter information cards for everyone living at that location. Eligible voters who do not receive a card, or who do not bring it to the polling station, will be directed to a special team at each polling station which will ensure the individual is on the voters list or will add the person to the list if necessary.

Voters can also find voting information for their area online by visiting the Elections NB website. Using the “Where Do I Vote?” search engine, they can quickly find the location of their local polling stations, the list of candidates running in their electoral district, as well as contact information for their returning office.
