Advanced Voting

As part of the Women in Government Program and to promote civic engagement and make it easier to participate in the election process, Council has more than quadrupled the number of advance voting days! While previously the RM had 1 advanced voting day, for this election, the number of days has been expanded to 6.

Advanced voting occurs at the RM Office at 100 Hutchence Road, Emerald Park, SK.

Advanced voting days and times include:

New - Mail-In Voting

Alongside expanding the number of advanced voting days, the RM of Edenwold No. 158 has recently adopted Bylaw No. 2022-43 Mail-In Ballot Bylaw. Under this bylaw, residents can sign up to vote for municipal elections using a mail-in voting system. Mail-in ballot voting systems are frequently used across the region, including in the RM of Sherwood (surrounding Regina), the Town of Balgonie, the RM of Corman Park (surrounding Saskatoon), and the Province of Saskatchewan.

Mail-In voting follows a safe and secure method to guarantee the safety of the election and election results. To vote using a mail-in ballot:

Note: The RM must receive your ballot no later than 8:00 PM on November 9th, 2022. Any mail-in votes received after 8:00 PM on the 9th will be deemed ineligible.

Submit these forms to the RM by dropping them off at the RM Office, located at 100 Hutchence Road, Emerald Park SK, S4L 1C6, by mailing them to the RM Office, or by scanning and emailing them to info@edenwold-sk.ca. You can register to vote by mail-in ballot up to November 8th (the day before the election).
   
   
2. Upon receiving the completed Forms R and C, RM staff will create a ballot kit. This ballot kit will include ballots, a Ballot Security Envelope (labelled Envelope A), a Voter Confirmation Envelope (labelled Envelope B), an Outer Envelope (labelled Envelope C), and a Mail-In Ballot Voting Instruction Sheet. RM staff will mail the completed ballot kit to the address you provided in Form R. You can also pick up the kit from the RM Office by giving advanced notice.
