The Elections BC Fernie Voting Place is at the Fernie Seniors Centre on Saturday, October 19th from 8am to 8pm. Be sure to vote and make it count!

Voting in the British Columbia election is important for several key reasons:

Shape the Future of Your Community: By voting, you have a direct say in who will represent your community and make decisions that impact your daily life, from healthcare and education to transportation and housing.

Hold Elected Officials Accountable: Voting allows you to hold politicians accountable for their actions and promises. If you’re dissatisfied with how things are going, voting is your chance to push for change.

Support Policies That Matter to You: Elections influence policy decisions on critical issues like the environment, the economy, and social services. By voting, you help ensure that the policies you care about are prioritized.

Strengthen Democracy: Voting is a fundamental part of the democratic process. A strong voter turnout shows that citizens are engaged and invested in their government, which can lead to more responsive and transparent leadership.

Make a Difference Locally and Provincially: Elections at both the local and provincial levels affect key services, from local infrastructure projects to provincial healthcare initiatives. Your vote helps shape decisions on both scales.

In short, voting in the BC election is your chance to have a meaningful impact on the issues that affect you, your community, and the province as a whole. Every vote counts!
