Dear Editor:
An open letter to Elections Ontario.
It is completely unacceptable that there is only one early voting station open that is about an hour away from Elora, on a good day. OPP are recommending people stay off the road. To have the only early voting station be in Georgetown is unrealistic, especially with the weather we have had.
No one could spring for one additional early voting station closer to your second most populated area in Halton Hills?
Your website said to stay tuned for early voting stations after Feb. 14. So we waited, only to find out that your earliest open station is Feb. 20, two days after we leave for holiday and six days before voting day. Fedexing votes to Mexico which is apparently where many folios have been shipped leaving it to Canadians to ‘snail mail’ or pay $50 to get their vote back on time?
There is no proxy voting and there are no online options.
Is it 2025? Because it feels like early 1900s to try to vote in Ontario.
This whole process, with “Ford Nation” mailing out bribery cheques, misappropriating Greenbelt land, injecting billions for Highway 413 to make it faster a commute by two minutes, wasting over $620 million to get alcohol in stores, recommending that PC candidate Joseph Racinsky not participate in any public debates and making it difficult to vote hopefully furthers the people in Ontario to vote Ford right out of office.
He is a disgrace.
Staci Barron,
Elora
