City of Windsor employees are registering electors who do not have fixed addresses.
On Oct. 16 Elections Windsor sent city employees to the Downtown Mission and the Salvation Army to help register voters for the upcoming municipal election for an hour at each location.
Ron Dunn director of development and community relations at the Windsor Downtown Mission, said the city took the initiative to send employees to help those with a more transient lifestyle.
“It’s fundamentally important for everyone to vote,” said Dunn. “For me, it’s about having the voting conversation with people who generally don’t get engaged in this type of process… Their vote is just as important as anyones.”
John Hilt was waiting in line to register. He said it we were all given the right to vote and our forefathers fought for that right and he will not give up that right under any circumstance.
