Election Procedures Bylaw No. 989, 2018, Amendment Bylaw No. 1142, 2024
This bylaw outlines the rules for local government elections and other voting events in the Town of View Royal. It defines key terms like 'elector,' 'election sign,' and 'general voting day.' The bylaw sets the minimum number of nominators required for candidates at ten. It allows electronic access to nomination documents and campaign financing disclosure statements on the town's website. Voters can register on voting day itself. There are two advance voting opportunities, with the possibility of additional ones set by the Chief Election Officer. Mail-in voting is permitted for those with disabilities or those who will be away during voting periods. The bylaw also regulates election signs, prohibiting them on public land (with exceptions for official voting opportunity signs) and setting rules for their placement on private property, including size, location, and timing. The use of the town's logo on election signs without permission is prohibited.
