Chapleau residents will cast ballots differently this year.

While Chapleau Town Council had decided more than a month ago to switch to electronic voting for this year's municipal election, the decision was confirmed this week, with Council provided additional information on how the process will work.

Mayor Michael Levesque explains local voters will receive information ahead of the voting period.

Chapleau's following the lead of Wawa, which switched to electronic voting starting in 2018.

Nominations are now open for municipal elections across Ontario - closing August 19th - with Election Day October 24th.
