Municipal election voting day is just around the corner, and before you cast your vote, have a listen to this morning's panel which touches on all things municipal!

Then...get out and vote on September 28! (or earlier if Vote by Mail is an option!)

Municipalities affect our lives in BIG ways. Access to clean water, social programs, housing, transportation, and MUCH more. We want you to have a say in your future. Vote for your mayor and council on Sept. 28. Contact your municipality for info on how and where to vote.

There's one week left in the NL Municipal Election Campaign. There's still time to get to know your candidates and weigh in on the future of your community. Make YOUR mark.

Our next episode of MYM TV is here. We caught up with disability rights advocate Anne Malone earlier this summer. She offers an important perspective on accessibility and having diverse voices at the decision-making table. https://t.co/JWnKdLNaHt

We are thrilled to hear the public dialogue around diversity and inclusion in municipal governance. Our communities are diverse and council chambers must be inclusive. We need all voices represented at the decision-making tables throughout our province. Make Your Mark!

It won't be long before we are going to the polls to elect our next municipal leaders. Whether it's running for council, or reaching out to voice your issues, there are so many ways to make YOUR mark. September 28, 2021.

[Make Your Mark @MakeYourMarkNL]

Municipalities are where policies are made and communities are grown. We want leaders at council tables learning alongside other leaders and challenging them to make changes. YOU have a chance to make changes for a better tomorrow. Make Your Mark on September 28, 2021

We are so grateful to Elections NL workers who had to continuously pivot to make this election happen. We thank you for your hard work and dedication.

As the folks who were on the frontlines, we hope to hear from you with your suggestions of improvements for future elections!

[Citizens' Assembly for Stronger Elections NL @CASENL_]

With the counting behind us, it's time to look forward and commit to ensuring greater enfranchisement and accessibility for all future elections.

We need electoral reform for future provincial and upcoming municipal elections. #nlpoli 1/4

We heard from non-incumbent candidates about the immense financial pressures of unpaid leave, childcare costs and fundraising for campaign expenses.

A commitment to diversity of candidates demands that these barriers be addressed!
