5 Lynn Fripps Elementary School 21020 – 83 Avenue

Changes due to COVID-19

Voting will be different due to COVID safeguards. In most case, voters will enter the voting place via an exterior door (gym door) and exit from another exterior gym door. Therefore, all locations may not be wheelchair accessible.  

Elector registration - resident

If you are not on the List of Registered Electors, (visit tol.ca/elections to determine if you are on the list) you may register at the time of voting at the “New Registration” table in the voting place on Election Day. To register you must meet ALL the following qualifications:

  • 18 years of age or older on the day of registration
  • Canadian citizen
  • resident of B.C. for at least 6 months immediately before the day of registration
  • resident of the Township of Langley for at least 30 days immediately before the day of registration
  • not otherwise disqualified by law from voting

Those resident electors registering at the time of voting, are required to produce 2 pieces of identification (at least one with a signature). The identification must show both residency and identity. Resident electors who are registered and on the Voters list, only need to produce one piece of identification.

Elector registration - non-resident property

Persons (not corporations) who own property in the Township of Langley but live outside the Township, may register to vote as a Non-Resident Property Elector. To register you must meet ALL the following qualifications:

  • 18 years of age or older on the day of registration
  • Canadian citizen
  • resident of B.C. for at least 6 months immediately before the day of registration
  • registered owner of real property in the Township of Langley for at least 30 days immediately before the day of registration
  • not otherwise disqualified by law from voting

In addition to the required ID, non-resident property electors will be required to produce a recent title search print from the Land Title Office. Corporations do not have the right to vote, and only one individual for a parcel of land may vote.  In the case of multiple owners of a parcel of land, a majority of the owners must sign a consent form, designating one of the property owners to vote. If a corporation is one of the owners of the parcel of land, the property does not qualify as a non-resident property. The Non-Resident Property Elector form and Consent form are available by contacting bwilson@tol.ca.

A person can only vote once in the election, either as a resident of the Township of Langley or as a Non-Resident Property Elector. City of Langley residents who own property in the Township cannot vote for a School Trustee in the Township.

Advance voting opportunities

Advance voting will be available as follows:

  • Wednesday, February 17 (8:00am to 8:00pm) Aldergrove - Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre - 26770 29 Avenue. Enter through the meeting room door.
  • Thursday, February 18 (8:00am to 8:00pm) Willowbrook/Willoughby - Township Civic Facility, 20338 65 Avenue – 1st floor – enter through the first floor entrance.
