Voter Registration

        Enumeration

From Wednesday, October 10, 2007 through to Friday, October 19, 2007, a door-to-door enumeration of eligible electors will be conducted in each of the Province's approximately 2600 regular polling subdivisions and in approximately 150 personal care facilities and mobile polls visiting a number of smaller facilities. In urban and easily accessible rural constituencies enumerators will make as many call back visits as possible during the enumeration period. In some rural areas, where distance makes a second visit impractical, enumerators will follow up on their initial visit by telephone.

Elections Saskatchewan's enumerators will sit on Saturday, November 3, 2007, to make revisions to the voters' list. Any resident whose name is not on the revised voters' list is able to register to vote by making a declaration and providing a proof of voter identity and place of ordinary residence at an advance poll or at a special or regular poll on election day.
