Notice Re: Vaccination Status at Election Events

COUNCIL OF THE HAIDA NATION

ELECTION 2021

 

 

NOTICE RE: VACCINATION STATUS AT ELECTION EVENTS

November 20, 2021

 

I have had a question regarding vaccination requirements for the election. As the Head Electoral Officer, I am required to abide by the 2017 CHN Election Act, and am responsible for ensuring that all election events comply with CHN policies and Provincial Health Orders.

There is no vaccination requirement for voting at polling stations. The polling stations have COVID-19 safety plans in place, and are set up so that you will have no close contact with electoral staff or other voters.

However, all attendees at in-person candidate forums must show proof of vaccination in order to attend in person. This includes candidates.

Proof of vaccination will also be required to attend the swearing in ceremony in person.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
