THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM DATE: March 31, 1993 TO: B.R. Kirk

City Administrator FROM: Susan Rauh

City Clerk RE: 1993 Voters’ List RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Clerk be instructed to arrange for the Provincial Voters’ List to be used for the civic elections.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

Although the elections are some months away the use of the Provincial Voters’ List requires staff time for preparation of technical specifications to ensure availability as required. The cost of obtaining the Provincial list is approximately $300.00. The City used the Provincial Voters List at the 1990 election which brought our registered voters from 9,011 in 1988 to 19,037 in 1990.

Updating the list in this fashion would speed up the process at the polling stations and, naturally people would still have the opportunity to register on polling day.
