Vehicle to vote: Regina to offer drive-thru option in municipal election
REGINA — Voters won’t even need to get out of their vehicles to cast a ballot in Regina’s civic election next month.
The city is offering a drive-thru advance polling station in the hope it might encourage a higher voter turnout.
Four years ago, only 33 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot; in 2009, the turnout was even lower at 21 per cent.
Chief returning officer Jim Nicol says the idea is to make it as easy and straightforward as possible.
