With voting in the upcoming Town of Innisfil municipal election set to be done online or by phone, the town is hosting election help centres for residents in need of assistance.

Residents will have received a voter information letter in the mail that contains a unique voter number and instructions for voting.

The 10-day voting period begins Friday, Oct. 14, at 10 a.m. and will be open until Monday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m.

From Oct. 15 to Oct. 21, the town is hosting five help centers throughout the community for people who need help voting on an electronic device, who did not receive a voter information letter in the mail, or who who need to change their voting information.
