Wawa's sticking with electronic voting next year.
In their meeting this week, Wawa Municipal Council passed a by-law authorizing the use of "alternative voting methods" - specifically internet and telephone - for the 2026 school board and municipal election.
Council had discussed it earlier in the month, with councillors agreeing it was the best option - noted to be the least costly method and likely to produce better turnout than physical, as it's more accessible - though they did emphasize the importance of maintaining the opportunity for assistance in voting, as in past elections.
The Municipality swapped from vote-by-mail to electronic voting for the 2018 election and stuck with electronic in 2022.
