2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 22,1990 Massive Responsibility For Returning Officer Liberal Candidate Keeps Very Busy From Page One If a person who was missed lives in a rural area of the riding they have two options to choose from, Mrs. Newton Newton said. The first is that they can vote on election day if they have a family member or close friend who can vouch for them being who they say they are. Or they can come to the Elections Ontario office to pick up a certificate in order to vote on election day. Mrs. Newton said if you chose the second option, people are being encouraged encouraged to wait until the advance poll begins on August 25 so they can vote after picking up the certificate. Mrs. Newton's next job is to train deputy returning officers and poll clerks. The appointments to these positions must be made by August 29 and are made in a manner similar to appointing appointing enumerators: DRO's are appointed by the Liberals and poll, clerks are appointed appointed by the party' with the highest votes in the riding. One of the last tasks she must do before the actual voting takes place, is organize, polling stations. She tries to choose locations in central central areas of the poll, usually in halls or schools, and in buildings that are wheelchair accessible. Courtice has posed a problem for polling stations this year because of the lack of available halls in the area. To combat this, 15 polls are being located located at Courtice Secondary School. "There was literally no place else," Mrs. Newton explained. All polls in the riding are wheelchair wheelchair accessible, except for 25 polls where there was no alternative but to use a site that was not accessible to wheelchairs. On election day she checks with each poll and is available throughout the day if problems emerge. After polls close, Mrs. Newton is at the Elections Ontario office helping man the phones as the vote count is called in. The unofficial results are known that evening although the official official tabulation won't be known until thé next day. The Monday following the election, Mrs. Newton will be clearing out the Elections Ontario office ana for the next two weeks will finish the paper work at home. "Then I will hide at the cottage for three weeks," she joked. It's a busy job and the elections office office has been fielding nearly 500 phone calls a day. But it's a job Mrs. Newton enjoys and she just hopes, from now until September 6, it will continue to run smoothly. New M.P. Offers Advice to N.D.P.
