I voted on the walk to work this morning. Brisk morning; sunny, and around 3 C.
Polling was in a local church. I arrived early, around 7:15; doors open at 7:30. There were already three people in line. While we were waiting a line formed from the church door halfway down the block. Knew several people in the line from the neighbourhood, so chatted with them while waiting.
When we got in, there were three ballot boxes, depending on where your address was. I was third in line for the ballot box for my street, and saw a neighbour, the first in line, be asked to look in the ballot box to verify it was empty. Then it got sealed.
Five candidates on the ballot:
- Conservative
- Green
- Liberal
- New Democrat
- People’s Party
In and out in about 10 minutes. Still a lineup when I left at about 7:45.
