If you want to canvass and are NOT registered, you can register to vote then apply to canvass.<br />Also I got confirmation today, because we are so close to the lower section of this riding, if we get the petition sheet for the next riding, we can canvass or witness signatures for that riding.<br />That helps a lot for people who may not have a canvasser in the riding next to you.Gary Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640964040603349900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-16060941607872896062010-04-19T11:01:10.138-07:002010-04-19T11:01:10.138-07:00Thanks folks for the clarification...It`s not like...Thanks folks for the clarification...It`s not like people have come back and said they just registered, I am aware, that my friends is why were shoooting and will get 10,000 votes in our riding, triple the required.......<br /><br />Because I suspect that many are registered to vote.....<br /><br />The petition will drive people back to the polls,and that is a good thing....<br /><br />I also tell everyone who signs the petition to NEVER SIGN MORE THAN ONCE.....My photographic memory serves me well.....<br /><br />Thanks for exact quote Leah....."Return to Sender"<br /><br />"Recall in the Fall"<br /><br />CheersGrant Ghttp://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-43804548377959365112010-04-19T09:22:08.307-07:002010-04-19T09:22:08.307-07:00Only voters who are registered prior to midnight o...<i>Only voters who are registered prior to midnight on April 6, 2010 are qualified to sign the petition to end the harmonized sales tax (HST). Please note that NEW registrations received at Elections BC after midnight on April 6, 2010 will not qualify that voter to sign the petition.<br /><br />Registered voters who now live at a different address than the address on their voter record and who want to sign the petition to end the harmonized sales tax (HST) using their new address, must update their address information with Elections BC prior to July 5, 2010. If Elections BC does not have a voter's address on record, their petition signature will be disqualified.</i><br /><br />It's unfortunate that many will have to be turned away from voting on the Initiative, but perhaps for some, they'll see now how important it is to vote - or at least have the opportunity to, by being registered to vote in the most recent election. Whether or not they choose to vote at any time, this Initiative proves why we should at the least be registered to do so.Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-54384166712600091402010-04-19T07:36:15.248-07:002010-04-19T07:36:15.248-07:00Grant, here is the HST site at elections BC

They MUST have been registered prior to April 6,2010 or they are unable to sign. Those are the rules from Elections BC. But it wouldn't hurt to have them register anyway because of the RECALL IN THE FALL. When they will have a chance to tell this government just how they feel.Gary Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640964040603349900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-18039261930522118892010-04-19T02:00:23.746-07:002010-04-19T02:00:23.746-07:00Grant, I think you are understating the revolt to ...Grant, I think you are understating the revolt to the HST. This ain't no snowball, it's a tsunami. And it is all going to land in Campbell and Co.'s lap with such a force that they won't know which way is up. The BC Liberal party will have the distinction of being the first provincial political party to pull the rug out from under their own feet.<br /><br />Thank you for crediting me with the "Return to Sender" idea, but the truth of the matter is that blogs such as this bring ideas, both good and bad, to the fore. We tend to do what our elected types fail to do. We both talk and listen with an open mind rather than decree and shut out reasonable discourse.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.com
