Vote by Mail:
Voters can request a voting package before an election is called. Packages can be requested using the online request form, by calling Elections BC at 1-800-661-8683, or by visiting any district electoral office in B.C. after April 8, 2013. Voting packages can be requested up to 4 p.m. (Pacific time) on May 14, 2013, General Voting Day. To increase accessibility to Vote by Mail for voters in remote locations (e.g. out of the province), Elections BC can send voting packages up to 30 days before the election is called on April 16, 2013. Each Vote by Mail voting package includes instructions, a ballot, and the envelopes necessary to return the marked ballot and protect the secrecy of the vote. If your voting package is being sent to a location in Canada, the return envelope provided by Elections BC will be “postage paid”. Voting packages must be returned to the district electoral office from which they were issued before 8 p.m. (Pacific time) on General Voting Day.Important: Voters who receive a package early must ensure that they do not mark their ballot and return their package to Elections BC before April 16. Voting before an election is called will disqualify that ballot.
