Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that the Advanced Polling Stations are open as of today until February 22. The early polls will be open between 1000-2000, but check your early polling stations as the hours might be different.
Election day is February 27 and polls will be open from 0900-2100.
You can find your polling stations, and the times they are open by going to this website and entering your postal code.
If you have any conflicts with the dates to vote because you are working all of the days the polling stations are open - please contact your manager. There is legislation that provides for time off work without loss of pay to vote. I think you're to have 3 consecutive hours available to vote so if your shift conflicts with that your manager may need to release you early, or have you come in late. I believe this might only be applicable to the Feb 27 voting day.
For more info or to volunteer to help with phone banking for the Nurses Vote Campaign check out https://ona.org/campaign/
If you have any questions - please let your Bargaining Unit President know.
Get out there and exercise your right to vote in this provincial election!!
In solidarity,
Steph
