LETHBRIDGE, AB – The first in a series of Plain Language Information Sessions will cover voting-related issues in ways that make more sense and are easier to understand.
They are being hosted by Aileen Burke, the Community Navigator with Inclusion Lethbridge, who believes the sessions will be particularly useful for first-time voters, people with disabilities, and those who do not speak English as their first language.
“Politics is very complicated and there’s messages coming at you from all sorts of different media outlets and the parties themselves, and sometimes, it’s hard to understand what information is relevant and important for you to know.”
In the first session, Burke will go over topics like how to register to vote, the different ways people can vote, what kinds of ID you will need at the polling station, marking your ballot, and accessibility when it comes to voting.
