A new election hotline in multiple languages has been set up to help people understand the voting process for the Oct. 19 federal election.
SUCCESS set up the voting hotline Monday, Oct. 5 with questions answered in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, as well as Farsi.
It will operate from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday until Oct. 19, except Thanksgiving Day Oct. 12.
People can call 604-408-7260 for key election information, including the following:
• What kind of identification do I need when I go to vote?
• Where is my designated poll place? What are the opening hours?
• What if I am not able to vote on Oct. 19?
• What should I do if I need a translator?
"We encourage each citizen to make your voice heard and cast your vote on October 19," said Queenie Choo, CEO of SUCCESS, a charitable organization providing services in settlement, language training, family and youth services, among other things.
