Nov. 70 countdown Election logistics are well in order by Murray Moore Nov. 10 is still in the future for most people but Midland's clerk is hard at work preparing for the municipal election. This election will be the first with Midland divided into two wards instead of four wards. The polling station network has been changed, the poll lists need to be updated, and all necessary documentation and equipment assembled, Clerk Mike Owen says. New ballot boxes will be used. The old ballot boxes were either destoryed or badly -- damaged in the fire that partially gutted the town hall in the spring of 1979. The town has since purchased 30 new ballot boxes. A change in the ward system from four wards to two wards was granted earlier this year by the Ontario Municipal Board. Each of the two new wards will have 15 polls, compared to a total of 24 polls in the former four wards. Polls The new arrangement of polls. says the clerk, is superior to the old system, which he described as "virtually impossible to alter, and very difficult to work with.' Whereas the ideal poll would have 325 electors, one of the old polls had as many as 565 electors. The old polls were not all in simple blocks, but tended to wander. The new polls are blocks of varying size that leave room for easy adding to according to population increase, he said. Information will start to be released starting the beginning of October. Cards notifying electors of the.location of their polling station are to be mailed by Oct. 24, after the release of the lists of electors. The date for the advance poll for this election is Nov. 1. The town will save around $800 this year in postage alone because it will be mailing only one card to each household with poll in- formation printed on it. All of the electors' names in each household will be printed on the one card. Previously each elector received in the mail a separate card. Penetanguishene electors will receive notification in the same way. Notification isn't strictly required if the number of elec- tors is less than 4,000, but Penetang has chosen to send out the information-bearing cards in the past regardless. Owen expects to be heavily occupied with election details from the end of this month through the end of November.
