Fall 2022 - Municipal Elections
Attention :
Good afternoon from the MPOA. Lake Mazinaw's 2 townships are having elections this fall. As a property owner in one township or the other, you can vote in the appropriate municipal election, either North Frontenac, or Addington Highlands! There are several issues pertinent to the typical cottage owner, including Short Term Rentals (STRs), and septic tank inspections, so don’t let the opportunity to have your say to go waste.
Please note that if you own property in the township you can vote, regardless of the number of properties you may own elsewhere. Voting has been made easy. You can vote electronically or by phone from wherever you are during the voting period. While the official date is October 24, you can vote on any day from October 15 to the 24. As before, there is no option for a paper ballot.
We strongly encourage you to vote. It is basic to the MPOA being able to act on your behalf. A good voter turnout shows that there is active lake interest in township affairs, how it operates and governs, and decisions needed in the coming term.
When: Now through October 24th 2022
Eligibility: Call the townships to obtain your PIN (if you haven’t received it in the mail).
How: By telephone or online with your secure PIN.
