This person must be a qualified elector and someone you trust. You cannot appoint more than one voting proxy or act as a voting proxy for more than one other person. However, this restriction does not apply if the proxy and the other person are spouses or siblings of each other, parent and child, or grandparent and grandchild.

Proxies may be appointed at the Municipal Office during regular business hours from August 22, 2022 to October 21, 2022. Appointments of Voting Proxy will NOT be able to be issued on Monday, October 24, 2022.
