The voting period for the 2018 municipal election begins today in Greater Sudbury.
Not everyone is comfortable with the electronic voting system the city has instituted this year. This will be an entirely paperless election, which might be better for the environment, but does make some voters nervous.
If you are one of those people who are uncomfortable or unsure about e-voting, the city has set up voting help centres at locations across the city that will be open during regular business hours from Oct. 15 until Oct. 21 (Sunday),
