Voting by internet and telephone is a cost-effective, convenient, and secure way to make participation easier for everyone.  

This voting method supports:

• Easier participation: Voters can cast their ballot anytime and from anywhere during the voting period. This flexibility helps accommodate busy schedules, travel, seasonal residents, and voters who may not be available on traditional voting days. 
• Improved accessibility: Internet and telephone voting removes barriers associated with in-person voting. Using familiar devices from home makes voting easier for people with disabilities and anyone who may face mobility or transportation challenges. 
• Strong security: Advanced security features, including secure authentication and encrypted systems, protect voter privacy and ensure ballots are counted exactly as cast. 
• Fast, verified results: Once the voting period ends, results are available within minutes. All election outcomes are official, verified, and independently audited.

School board trustees are:

• locally-elected representatives and community advocates for publicly-funded education
• members of a school board, which is the governing body that oversees a local district
• required to carry out their responsibilities in a manner that assists the board in fulfilling its duties under the Education Act and its regulations

Trustees help shape the education experience, the school environment and the future of our children, communities and province. Locally-elected school trustees put the “public” in publicly-funded education. They are connectors who bring community voices to the table and make democracy meaningful.
