Elections Newfoundland and Labrador is
responsible for the conducting of elections and for ensuring fairness,
impartiality and compliance with all aspects of the Elections Act, 1991.
In addition to responsibilities associated with provincial elections our
Office works co-operatively with Elections Canada, school boards and
municipalities in exchanging data to maintain accurate voters' lists for
other electoral events. These initiatives are supplemented by promotional
activities aimed at encouraging voter registration and education programs
in our schools to encourage youth participation in the voting process.
With a relatively small number of permanent staff we are proud of the
progress made since the last General Election and look forward to working
closely with our field staff in meeting the challenges of the next General
Election.
We hope that our web site will be yet another information tool for the
public. Please take a few minutes to review the material and feel free to
provide us with any comments or suggestions you may have with respect to
it.
