​

Voters are only eligible to vote in one division. The division in which you are eligible to vote is determined by the first of the following applies:

          - the division where you reside;

          - the division where you own assessed property; or

          - the division where you hold a permit as the occupant of a trailer or mobile                home.

​

If you own assessed property in more than one division & you do not live the RM, you are eligible to vote in the division where you have the highest total assessment. If the total assessment is equal, you will vote in the lowest numbered division. There are exceptions to this, see Section 39 of The Local Government Elections Act for further detail.
