Absentee Ballots must be postmarked by Thursday, April 22, 2021, and received by Thursday, April 29, 2021. This provides an extra week from the timeline initially set forth in order to account for possible mail delivery delays. Members are urged to mail Absentee Ballot Request Forms and Absentee Ballots well ahead of these dates due to delays with the Postal Service.

Members can also choose to vote in person at the District 250 office on Saturday, April 24, 2021 at 19005 94th Avenue in Surrey BC. Voting will take place from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. unless otherwise notified.
