Voting in face mask OK

KELOWNA–A Kelowna man joined a growing group of Canadians exercising their right to vote while wearing a face covering.

Greg Teleglow says Canadians may not know that they are allowed to vote wearing face covering.

He chose a red Halloween mask.

He also said it was a quick process.

He needed to show two pieces of identification and swear an oath that he is, indeed, eligible to vote.

“If we can go around with our faces covered, I’m doing it,” Teleglow says.

He also went to the RCMP for their reaction.

He was told that the response to face coverings is up to the individual officer.

Teleglow also plans to go to the bank.

“People who wear face coverings also want to do banking  business, so are we going to discriminate on this matter or can anyone in society; in a secular liberal society, can anyone wear a face covering?” Teleglow asks.
