Changes in the rules cover- ing proxy voting and advance polling are among those designed to make vot- ing possible and more practi- cal for many of Canada's estimated 14.9 million eligi- ble electors in this election. "The ill, handicapped and aged, certain students and workers away from home, and voters unable to vote because of temporary ab- sence are among those who will benefit," says Jean- Marc Hamel, Canada's Chief Electorial Officer. The changes were made in amendments to the Canada Elections Act and were passed by Parliament in December, 1977. Some of the important changes are: 1. At least one advance poll with "level access" for the handicapped must be set up in each urban area - of an electorial district. An elector entitled to vote at an advance poll may, if the poll doesn't have level assess, obtain a transfer certificate from his or her Returning Officer and vote at another poll that does offer level access. A notice of an advance poll must state if level access is available and explain to voters that trans- fer certificàtes may be obtained. 2. Voting at advance polls -- for those unable to vote on election day -- formerly was possible on two days only. Under the new provisions, advance polling will be spread over three days -- - between noon and 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 12, Monday, May 14, and Tuesday, May 15. To vote at an advanced poll, you have only to sign your name -- not take an affidavit as in the past. 3. In a general election, voters who are unable to vote on election day or at the advance polls, may now vote in the office of the Returning Officer. Such voting will be done noon to 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on any day beginning Monday May 7 and ending on May 18, ex- cluding Sundays and any advance polling day. 4. Proxy voting is extended to members of air crews, forestrv crews and topo- graphical survey crews, and to trappers. Such electors, along with fishermen, mariners, prospectors, who are ill or physically disabled, and students away from home during academic terms, may now arrange to vote by proxy. In proxy voting, an elector who cannot cast a ballot in person on election day or at any other of specified times, may appoint another elector to vote in his or her place. If you wish to vote by proxy, then either you or your proxy must apply in person to the Returning Off i- cer for a proxy certificate. If you are applying for proxy voting because of ill- ness or physical incapacity, you must present a certifi- cate from a legally qualified medical practitioner. If you are a student, absent from your polling division during an academic term, you can apply to vote by proxy but must have a statement from the registrar of your college or school. 5. A qualified elector whose name is not on the preliminary list of voters may now more easily get on the revised list. This can be done by contacting the Returning Officer prior to May 4. 6. Special provisions for temporary workers away from home have been ex- tended to include students who are gainfully employed between their academic terms. I n the past, such students couldn't vote if they were away from their ordi- nary places of residence. Now, they can vote in the electorial district where they are working if they have arrived in the électorial dis- trict by May lst and take action to have their names placed on the voters list during the period of revision May 2 to May 4. Several other rule changes will apply to this election as a result of amendments to the law. Electors will no longer be required to show their occu- pation on election documents. Ordinary polls on election day will be open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., local time. Previously, they opened at 8 a.m. and closed at 7 p.m, standard time. All references to times in the new law mean "local time". An elector whose right to vote is challenged at a poll -- because his or her identity is questioned -- may now pro- duce documents to prove identity. An oath is no longer automatically required. Employers and emplo- yees, under new rules, may jointly agree to waive the provision giving employees four conwecutive hours time off with pay to vote. Another rule change brings hourly- paid workers under the time- off-work provisions. Still another broadens the time- off provision to include aill transportation companies, not just railways and their employees, as was the case in previous elections. 8:00 Durham Dialogue with Jim Kirkconnell 8:30 McLaughlin Art Gallery Presents: 9:00 Durham College Sports Talk with Mark Koson 9:30 Sign Off NOTE: ALL PROGRAMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE New voting rules make it easier to cast your ballot
