A special election in Inverness County will take place in March.
As a result of current District 1 Councillor Alfred Poirier’s decision to retire in January, Finance Director Tanya Tibbo said the municipality will hold a vote in early March using telephone and internet voting.
After approving a draft, Tibbo told last night’s regular monthly meeting of Inverness Municipal Council that the first reading of a bylaw allowing electronic voting required approval, which council provided.
Tibbo said the municipality can now advertise the bylaw and proceed to second and final reading in January.
