Elections Newfoundland and Labrador would like to remind voters from the electoral districts of Baie Verte-Springdale and Cape St. Francis that there is still time to be added to the electoral list for voting day, August 27, 2008. The deadline to be added to the list prior to polling day is tomorrow (Tuesday, August 19) at 4:00 p.m.

To be added to the list or to ensure that one�s personal information on the list is correct, electors may check with the Returning Officer for their district, or with Elections Newfoundland and Labrador. Any corrections or changes can then be made before polling day.

If an elector is not on the list on polling day, he or she may still register at the polling station for his or her residence. Proper identification will be required showing the elector�s name, current address, and signature. The elector will also have to take a proper oath or affirmation.

For further information, please contact Elections Newfoundland and Labrador at 729-0712 or 1-877-729-7987 (toll free).
