Numerous options available for North Battleford-eligible voters in upcoming municipal election

Elections North Battleford is readying the polls for voters ahead of the 2024 Municipal Election and officials are encouraging early registration to save voters some time when they cast their ballots later this fall.          

“A number of different registration methods are available to eligible voters,” commented Returning Officer Stacey Hadley. “Our Elections North Battleford team wants to encourage a high turnout for this civic election, and we aim to assist people ahead of time to make this a convenient experience for all voters.”

In addition to using the provincial government’s voter registry, the City of North Battleford will accept voter registration in advance from those who are not on the provincial voter registry, those who may be new voters in North Battleford, or those who may have a change in their personal information since previously registering. Voter registration information can be found at this link.
