Where do I vote?
You may vote at the Sun Peaks Municipal Office located at 106 Kookaburra Lodge on either November 9^th or 19^th. Polling stations will be open from 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM both days.

You may also vote at the Thompson Nicola Regional District Office located at 300 –465 Victoria St. Kamloops, BC

When can I register to vote?
Voting registration will be done on voting day only.

Do I need identification in order to vote?
When registering to vote on the day of voting, you must have two pieces of identification (ID). The ID must show your residential address and one of them must have your signature.

If you are a non-resident property elector (see below) you will need to fill out a Non-Resident Property  Elector application (click here) and, if applicable, a consent form (click here) signed by the majority of other owners.

Who may vote in the 2011 Sun Peaks municipal election?
You may vote in the Sun Peaks municipal election as a resident elector if you:

- are a Canadian citizen;
- are 18 years of age or more on general voting day;
- have lived in BC for at least six months before general voting day; and
- have lived in the municipality for 30 days or more before general voting day.

You may vote in the Sun Peaks municipal election as a non-resident property elector if you:

- are not a resident elector in Sun Peaks;
- are a Canadian citizen;
- are 18 years of age or more on general voting day;
- have lived in BC for at least six months before general voting day and;
- have owned the property for at least 30 days before general voting day.

I am a non-resident and own more than one property, do I get extra votes?
No, you may only vote in relation to one property.

What if I own property with someone else?
Only one non-resident property owner may vote for each property. In other words, if two or more non-resident
property owners own a single piece of property, the majority of owners must designate — in writing — one owner as the non-resident property elector for that property.

What if I own property with someone else, and that person is living in the house?
The person living in the house may vote as a resident elector because he or she lives there. As a non-resident property owner, you are also eligible to vote for that property, but you will still need the written consent of the other owner(s).

What if I will be unable to vote on November 19^th?
General voting day is November 19^th but an additional voting day will be held on November 9^th.

Voting by  mail is also an option for qualified electors. Packages will be available November 1st that include procedures and instructions. Mail ballot requests can be submitted up to Friday, November 18th. Electors are responsible to ensure ballots are received by 8:00 PM November 19th. Please contact the Sun Peaks Municipality for a package. For mail ballot details, click here.
