Voting Locations Open from July 13 - 15

RICHMOND HILL – Three Voting Locations open tomorrow for in-person voting in the 2024 York Region District School Board Trustee (Wards 1, 2 and 4) By-Election.

When to Vote

All voting for the York Region District School Board Trustee By-election (Wards 1, 2 and 4) will be in-person and is available:

• Saturday, July 13, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Sunday, July 14, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Monday, July 15, 2024 (Voting Day) from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Voters should bring their Voter Information Package (VIP) and will need to show identification with their name and address. Voters who did not receive a VIP and who are not on the Voters’ List, can still be added to the Voters’ List at any Voting Location provided they have identification showing their name and address.

Where to Vote

Voters can attend any one of the three Voting Locations to vote by paper ballot or request a change to the Voters' List (such as adding their name or updating/correcting their information). The City will have one Voting Location per Ward for Wards 1, 2 and 4.

To vote, bring your identification showing your name and qualifying address to one of the three Voting Locations below:

• MacLeod's Landing P.S. - 195 Silver Maple Rd.
• Richmond Hill High School - 201 Yorkland St.
• O.M. MacKillop P.S. - 206 Lucas St.

Your VIP is not considered a form of identification. Examples of acceptable identification are listed under Voter Information at RichmondHill.ca/RHVotes. If you don’t have a VIP, you can still vote if you present valid identification or complete a declaration (if you are already on the Voters’ List).

Voter Eligibility

You qualify to vote in the 2024 School Board By-election, if on Voting Day (Monday, July 15, 2024) you are:

• A Canadian Citizen
• At least 18 years old
• A resident of the City of Richmond Hill, who lives in Wards 1, 2 or 4, or a non-resident owner or tenant of residential property, or spouse of such owner or tenant of residential property, located in Richmond Hill Wards 1, 2 or 4
• An English Public School Board supporter
• Not prohibited from voting under the Municipal Elections Act, or any law
• Not otherwise prohibited by law from voting.

Announcing the Results

The Election Office will only begin to tabulate paper ballots after all Voting Locations have closed and all voters in line at 8 p.m. have been given the opportunity to vote. Eligible voters in line to vote at 8 p.m. on July 15 must be permitted to vote, which may lead to delays in reporting results.

Unofficial results will be posted to RichmondHill.ca as available following review and processing by the Election Office. Voting Results are considered unofficial until certified by the City Clerk, which the City Clerk is obligated to do as soon as possible following Voting Day.
