Dear Demetrios:
I was assured by Edmonton Elections staff that my Special Ballot of September XXIXth, MMXXV would be counted at the Returning Office. Its part of the reason I voted early, that & the minor foot surgery & avoiding lineups were of course also considerations. So as a result, needless to say I am rather disappointed that Edmonton Elections is instead doing the rest of the count at The Expo Centre, gosh I haven't been there for what 5 years since I got a Covid XIX vaccine shot. Whilst I respect that EE staff will make the vote counting accurate & safe, I do object vociferously to the move to this facility which of course is not going to be as secure at the Returning Office due to its huge size & the need for a boatload of more security to protect the voting area. I do however not blame EE staff, as its the stupidity of now Speaker then Municipal Affairs Minister Hon. Ric McIver, ECA, MLA, United Conservative, Calgary-Hays & His Majesty's United Conservative Government in implementing the new Municipal Voting Act. EE staff have to use 4x the ballot boxes so of course they need x the space (3 for the ballots for the 3 offices & 1 for signed/completed/witnessed elligible to vote forms) & EE staff & administrators are okay by me that is for sure! It was great to see Mayor-Elect Andy Knack's parents at Hap's Hungry House today at breakfast time, a superb restaurant! I used to be a neighbor just a couple of blocks away to Mr. & Mrs. Knack Senior!
Staffed,
Rory
