Hamilton Municipal Election: Voting Process Outlined

Election officials outlined the voting process for Hamilton's upcoming municipal election, including identification requirements, voter-list updates, accessibility services and electronic ballot counting.

Topics Discussed

• Identification: Voters must present identification when checking in. Officials said, "Photo ID is all you need to bring with you."
• Voter Registration: Residents who are not on the voters list can ask a revision officer to add or update their information at the polling place.
• Accessibility: Assistive voting technology will be available at accessible polling stations.
• Ballot Process: Voters will mark paper ballots behind privacy screens by shading the oval beside their chosen candidate. Election workers will then feed the ballots into an electronic tabulator.
