Voting Methods and Locations

Haldimand County Council has endorsed a hybrid voting model for the upcoming elections. Voters will be able to cast their ballot either online through internet voting or by using a paper ballot at any of the in-person voting locations. 

Voting Accessibility

To ensure voting is accessible to all electors, an accessibility plan is developed in conjunction with the Haldimand County Accessibility Advisory Committee.  The accessibility plan includes a thorough assessment of our voting methods and locations, ensuring we meet or exceed accessibility requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).  The accessibility plan will be available on our website once it has been approved.

• Service animals are welcome at all in-person voting locations
• If you find it difficult to vote using a paper ballot, you may bring a support person, such as a friend or relative, to help you mark your ballot. If you bring a support person:
  • They must take an oath confirming they will mark the ballot exactly as you instruct.
  • They may accompany you throughout the voting place, including behind the voting screen.
• An elections official can also assist you in voting using a paper ballot. Elections officials are trained to assist in a neutral, confidential manner. Elections officials can also read the ballot aloud, guide your hand, or provide other assistance as required.
• If you are unable to vote in person or use internet voting, you may appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf. The required proxy forms must be completed, and the proxy must present the forms at the voting location before receiving a ballot.
• Voters who are physically unable to enter a voting place may request curbside voting.
