Alternative Voting: Sealed Envelope

If you have reason to believe you will be unable to vote at the regular voting place on Election Day (October 28, 2026) or during advance voting opportunities, you may be eligible to vote by sealed envelope. This includes voters with a physical disability, those caring for a person who cannot be left alone, or those who expect to be absent from the municipality.

How to Apply

There are two ways to apply for a sealed envelope ballot. In both cases, you will be required to provide acceptable identification (an official document issued by a federal, provincial, or municipal government that contains your name, address, and photograph).

Applying In Person

  • Timeline: You may apply in person between September 30, 2026, and October 23, 2026 (between 28 days and 3 days before Election Day).

  • Process: Visit the RM of Reynolds Municipal Office 45030 PTH 11, Hadashville, MB during regular hours. If you are not already on the Voters List, you will be required to take an oath verifying that you are an eligible voter.

  • Ballot: You may be given your sealed envelope ballot package at the time of your application.

Applying In Writing

  • Timeline: You may apply in writing between July 30, 2026, and October 23, 2026 (between 90 days and 3 days before Election Day).

  • Process: You may request an Application to Vote by Sealed Envelope (Form 26) via mail or email.

  • Submission: Return the completed form along with a legible photo copy of your identification to the ASEO by email or mail: Laecie Levesque, ASEO admin@rmofreynolds.com.

Important Deadlines & Dates

  • Voting Period: The sealed envelope voting period begins September 30, 2026. No ballots will be mailed to any voter before this date.

  • Return Deadline: All sealed envelope ballots are sent by ordinary mail. To be counted, your ballot must be received by the Senior Election Official no later than 8:00 PM on Election Day, October 28, 2026.
