Township of Joly, 871 Forest Lake Road, Sundridge ON. Phone (705) 384-5428. Office hours until election day (October 26): Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Regular office hours: Monday to Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Internet/Phone Voting

The council of a local municipality is provided with the statutory authority to permit alternative voting methods
that do not require an elector to attend a voting place. 

The Township of Joly is using a hybrid model, 
internet voting and telephone combination.
Internet voting is a vote anywhere, anytime option using 
a computer, tablet, or smartphone from anywhere provided they have an internet connection. With internet voting, an information package
is mailed to every eligible elector advising them of their voting options, dates, and a secret PIN number. Unique
PIN numbers are mailed to electors in individual voting packages. The PIN code, in conjunction with a personal
piece of information (i.e. birth date) would be required for electors to log in and vote.
By combining these two pieces of information, the integrity of the vote is maintained, and the risk of fraudulent
voting can be reduced or minimized. The elector qualifies voter intent through the use of automatic controls
and can review the ballot and make changes prior to submission. The system is programmed to disallow an
elector from proceeding to the next office if their current vote is an over-vote.
