What's new
2010 Municipal Election Accessibility Plan
The 2010 Municipal Election Accessibility Plan supports and strengthens the City's commitment to the needs of persons with disabilities. The Plan's focus is to ensure that electoral services are accessible to all electors and candidates, to identify and eliminate barriers and to create a positive voting experience. This plan will be improved and updated as new opportunities are identified or become available and the City Clerk welcomes feedback to ways in which the City can improve the delivery of an accessible Election.
