The City has announced that Voter Information Letters (VIL’s) have been sent out and will start arriving in mailboxes next week.

Those who are eligible in Thunder Bay and are currently on the voters’ list for the upcoming 2022 Municipal & School Board Election should receive one.

“VIL’s contain important information on how, when and where to vote in the 2022 Municipal Election,” says Krista Power, City Clerk and Returning Officer.

VIL’s contain:

• A voter identification number and PIN for internet voting
• Dates and locations for advance voting, including drive-thru voting
• Locations where you can vote in your ward on Election Day, October 24
• Information about accessible voting
• Voter helpline information
• A pass for a free transit ride to and from any poll on advance voting days or Election Day

Online voting begins on Oct. 5 at 10 am, and will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week until voting closes at 8 pm on Election Day – Monday, October 24. Online voting will also be available at advance polls, Election Day polls and a kiosk in the lobby of City Hall.

The following in-person voting opportunities are available in advance of Election Day:

Clerk Power added that if residents do not receive a VIL, it means they were not included on the Voter’s List at the time when the VIL’s were printed and mailed out. As well, if your name or address has changed, or if your VIL has any errors, bring it with identification to the Clerk’s Office at City Hall during regular office hours, Monday thru Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Staff from the Clerk’s office will also be making VIL revisions at pop-up locations around the city including Intercity Mall, Goods and Co and the Thunder Bay Country Market.
