To make the voting experience for Nunavimmiut as safe as possible, we would like to encourage voting by proxy when possible for the upcoming Makivik election.
January 27th and Feb 7th, you must vote by proxy if you:
- Are living outside your community of affiliation, including but not limited to outside of Nunavik.
- Are in isolation for testing positive for COVID-19
- Are in isolation for being a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19
- Are showing symptoms of COVID-19
We strongly encourage you to vote by proxy if:
- You are an elder
- You are immune compromised or chronically ill
- You are unvaccinated
We would also suggest that 1 person from each household be the proxy holder for everyone living under the same roof. Each eligible voter can be a proxy holder for a maximum of ten people. This is to limit traffic at the polling stations and to reduce the risk of exposure and infection.
Proxy forms and instructions on how to fill them out can be found at your local pProxy forms and instructions on how to fill them out can be found at your local polling station, Makivik offices in Kuujjuaq and Montreal or on the Makivik website.
