Electronic voting is back again for the upcoming municipal election on Oct. 24.

“It’s a very effective method for cities in Saskatchewan,” said city-clerk/solicitor Myron Gulka-Tiechko, adding that it is also used in Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current and Yorkton. “There’s no mechanical way to monitor votes or anything. It’s fairly fraud-proof.”
