How you vote in Windsor-Essex depends on where you live
Some towns facilitate online voting while others stick to traditional polling stations
Election day is October 22 and many voters are already submitting their ballots in advance — but how you do it depends on where you live.
Whether it's through online voting or a traditional polling station, Guelph city clerk Stephen O'Brien said the decision about how people can vote in each municipality is left up to city council.
"In some cases, you've got large, urban centres like the City of Windsor. In our case, like the City of Guelph, where having a traditional polling station makes really good sense and it's logistically feasible," said O'Brien.
"But then, in other parts of the province, ... it's difficult to have locations that match ward boundaries or there's not enough coverage of suitable facilities. That's when we see things like mail-in ballots and online voting and phone voting."
