Local communities have continued to transition to online and telephone voting methods for this local election, meaning polling day may differ depending on where you live. In every community in the region, Election Day has become an election period and physical voting booths will not be an option.

Although election dates vary by municipality, all eligible voters should receive a letter in the mail containing the necessary internet links, telephone numbers, and personal identification numbers to cast a vote. Voters who do not receive letters before the start of the election period should contact their municipal office.
