Elections Nova Scotia – Registered voters in Pictou West will receive a Voter Information Card (VIC) in the mail this week with information and where and when to vote in the by-election.
Elections Nova Scotia has redesigned the VIC to make it more accessible for voters. Each registered voter will receive a personalized postcard style VIC.
Eligible voters in Pictou West can vote without a VIC. A voter can be added to the Nova Scotia registry of Electors when they vote with ID or they can take an oath to attest to their eligibility. If there are errors in the VIC a voter receives, they can bring it with them when they vote and have their information updated.
