Paqtnkek Election 2025 Reminder
To request a mail-in ballot please contact the Electoral Officer or Electoral Deputy by November 20, 2025. Contact info below.
This is the last day mail-in ballots will be sent out. All ballots will go out by Purolator and will have a prepaid Purolator package to return your ballot.
To get a mail-in ballot, the Electoral Officer must receive the “Request for Mail-in Ballots form” and a photocopy of the Elector’s ID. We must have this form completed along with the ID to send out a mail-in ballot. Anyone living on reserve and cannot make it to the Advance Poll (November 17, 2025) or voting in person on election day (November 26, 2025) can request a mail in ballot.
We cannot accept requests for a mail-in ballot from a third party for other people. The person who wants a ballot must contact us themselves.
With Covid and other Health concerns, we do not go to homes to do ballots. Please request a mail-in ballot by November 20, 2025.
The Advance poll will be held on November 17, 2025, at the Senior Centre from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm.
If you received a mail-in ballot but have decided to vote in person, please bring your mail-in package with you when you come to vote in person.
