Pandemic election planning underway at The City of Red Deer
Municipal elections in Alberta are less than a year away.
On Monday, Red Deer city council approved its Election Bylaw, which sets out dates, voting hours, rules around eligibility, election outreach, and how votes for school board trustees will be held.
The next municipal election will take place on Oct. 18, 2021.
All technical things aside, the City must also consider the stark possibility that an election one year from now will happen during a pandemic.
