Vote By-Mail Considered


Public school board voters in the Rainy River District's unorganized areas may get the chance to vote by mail this fall.

The Rainy River District School Board is looking at the option for voters in the election of trustees.

The board had contracted services to an organized municipality in the past for polling stations, but a report by its finance committee says with many communities going to mail-in ballots themselves, polling stations may not be an option this year.

Trustees are to vote on the issue at their meeting tomorrow.
