• Catherine Clute of Prince Street
• Tom Mulrooney of Queen Street

There will be an election held at a special meeting of the Village on January 18, 2023, at the Canadian Legion, Chester Branch, 14 Union Street.

The winning candidate of this election will serve until the regular Election that follows the 2023 Annual Public Meeting (approximately June 2023).

The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm. There will be a short explanation of the reason why there is a By-Election and an explanation of the voting process. This will be a vote-by-ballot with three candidates and only one vote per elector. No further nominations will be accepted at the meeting.

Candidates will each be offered a brief opportunity to introduce themselves and make remarks.

Electors will be invited to come forward to the polling station, have their names checked against the voter list, and be issued a ballot.

Please note that electors wishing to vote must present identification that shows they reside in the Village. Please be aware that not all Driver’s licences have a street address! If required another form of identification that shows a street address (such as a tax bill) may be required.

Electors will be invited to use one of the confidential voting booths to mark their ballot and place it in the ballot box.

Voting will be halted when the eligible electors present at the meeting have placed their ballot in the box. Electors who come after 7:00 will not be barred from entry, but once the Returning Officer confirms that everyone present who wishes to vote has done so, the poll will be closed and no further votes will be accepted.

In the presence of two scrutineers, the ballot box will be opened. The votes shall be read aloud and tallied by two poll workers.

Following counting, the results shall be read aloud in front of anyone who wishes to observe. The person having the greatest number of votes will be declared elected.

If there is a tie, the outcome will be determined by lot as prescribed by the Municipal Elections Act, with the lot drawn by someone selected at random from the crowd.
