Beginning August 17th, registration agents with Elections Manitoba will be spanning out across the province, visiting newly constructed neighbourhoods and areas of high mobility - such as apartment blocks and post-secondary campuses.
Their goal is to register people that might not otherwise be already signed up to vote in the October 3rd provincial election or might have moved from another region in the province.
Targeted registration is used to improve the accuracy and completeness of the Manitoba voter registry.
Agents will be wearing identification when they arrive at your door and will ask for the name, address, phone number, birth date, and gender of all eligible voters in the home.
To be eligible to vote, you must be at least 18 years old, a Canadian citizen, and have lived in Manitoba for at least six months prior to election day.
