Eligible electors should have received a Voter Information Letter in the mail. This letter includes the PIN number that will be used to log into the voting system.

When completing either form (in-person or online), you will be required to provide two pieces of valid government-issued ID (one must contain a photo).

The trustees for the English Separate – Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board and French Separate – Conseil scolaire catholique Providence were acclaimed.

Beginning on Friday, October 14th, electors requiring assistance may attend the Voter Assistance Centre at the LaSalle Civic Centre.

Scytl Verify is a mobile smartphone application that enables a voter to verify the contents of their encrypted vote that was cast in the LaSalle Municipal Election. Electors who vote online can download the Scytl Verify app before casting their vote to verify that their vote was recorded with the correct choices. Find this app by searching “Scytl Verify” in the App Store (Apple) or on the Google Play Store (Android).

Once an elector has submitted their online ballot, a QR code will pop up on the screen and the user can scan the code to confirm their vote. Electors should be prepared to enter the credentials from their Voter Information Letter into the app when prompted. Voters do not need to download the app or verify their votes in order for their votes to be counted.
