From: Bruce Taylor

Subject:
2003 Municipal Elections
Advance Voting, Special Voting Locations, Touch-Screen Voting
File: A-2140
Recommendation:
That the Clerk's Report CL 03-03 regarding the Year 2003 Municipal Election be
received; and
That the draft by-law to provide for reduced hours of voting in institutions and
retirement homes on voting day be enacted, and
That the draft by-law to provide for advance voting on Saturday, November 1,
2003 and Wednesday, November 5, 2003, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and
8:00 p.m. be enacted, and
That the draft by-law to amend by-law 4888/96, to allow for the use of touch-
screen voting equipment in addition to vote scanning equipment, be enacted to
enable visually impaired electors to vote without assistance.
Executive Summary: In accordance with the Municipal Elections Act, 1996,
Section 46(3), a by-law is being recommended to provide for early voting and reduced
hours of voting in institutions and retirement homes on Voting Day. The facilities
included in the by-law are: Village Retirement Centre, Rosebank Villa, Central Park
Lodge, and Rougemount Co-op.
In accordance with the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, Section 43(1 ), a by-law is being
recommended to provide for advance voting to be held on Saturday, November 1, 2003
and Wednesday, November 5, 2003, at the Civic Complex between the hours of 10:00
a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Although over the past few municipal elections, the City of Pickering has ensured that
all voting locations are wheelchair accessible, the passing of the Ontarians With
Disabilities Act has inspired us to go beyond the requirements of the Municipal
Elections Act and implement additional procedures to accommodate the needs of our
visually impaired electors. The Accuvote-TS (touch-screen voting equipment), offered
by Diebold Election Systems (formerly Global Elections Systems Inc), the supplier of

the optical scanning vote tabulating equipment used by the City in the 1997 and 2000
municipal elections, would sufficiently address this need via its voice guidance system
communicated to the elector through headphones. In accordance with the Municipal
Elections Act, 1996, Section 42, a by-law is being recommended to amend by-law
4888/96 to authorize the use of touch-screen voting equipment, in addition to optical
scanning vote tabulators
Financial Implications:
1. N/A
2. Staffing costs for each advance voting day is approximately $2150.00.
3. Costs estimated for incorporating touch-screen voting at two advance voting
locations include: $950 for two staff members and $6000 rental of three touch-
screen units.
Background:
Special Votinq Locations
The Municipal Elections Act, 1996, provides that voting must be provided on the
premises for institutions with 20 or more beds occupied by persons who are disabled,
chronically ill or infirm and for retirement homes in which 50 or more beds are occupied.
We refer to these locations as "special voting locations". Council may pass a by-law
providing for reduced hours of voting for these special voting locations.
Institutions qualifying as special voting locations include: Village Retirement Centre,
Rosebank Villa, Central Park Lodge, and Rougemount Co-op. Voting hours per
location are based on the analysis of time required to process electors at each location,
and have been established in co-operation with the Administration staff of each facility.
The Administration staff of three of the special voting locations have reviewed and
approved the proposed schedule. Central Park Lodge has not yet opened, and as
such, the voting hours for Central Park Lodge have been established based on the
number of potential electors and the voting hours approved by the other facilities.
It is recommended that election officials assigned to these special voting locations
conduct the vote during the specified hours. Voting will be conducted with both roving
vote and stationary voting processes. After the close of vote, the Election Officials
working at the special voting locations would immediately proceed to the specified
regular voting location. The ballots would then be removed from the special voting
location ballot box and deposited through the vote tabulator into the ballot box for that
voting subdivision.

The election results of the special voting locations will be included with the results of the
voting subdivision in which the institution is located.

Advance Votinq
Section 43(1 ) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, requires the City to pass a by-law, at
least 30 days before voting day, establishing one or more dates for advance voting and
the hours during which voting places shall be open on the advance voting date(s).
In previous years, the City of Pickering has provided two advance voting dates, the
Wednesday and Saturday immediately before Voting Day. The Civic Complex has
traditionally been used as the location for advance voting because of its immediate
proximity to the Pickering Town Centre, the Recreation Complex and the Library. As
well, the Civic Complex has sufficient parking and is on the public transit route. The
combination of two advance voting days, 10 hours of voting, and the Civic Complex has
proven successful. We recommend, therefore, that the City enact a by-law to provide
for advance voting on Wednesday, November 1, 2003 and Saturday, November 5,
2003 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and that the Civic Complex be
used as the advance voting location.

Touch-Screen Voting Equipment
The traditional paper ballot voting process essentially caters to able-bodied electors. In
recognition of those electors disenfranchised by the "traditional voting process", the
Municipal Elections Act, 1996, Sections 45(1) and (2), requires the Clerk to establish
voting places for the election which are convenient for electors, and, when choosing a
location for a voting place, the Clerk shall consider the needs of electors whose mobility
is impaired by disability or some other cause. The Act further requires the Clerk to
conduct voting on site in the following facilities:
· An institution for the reception, treatment or vocational training of members or
former members of the Canadian Forces, and
· An institution in which, on nomination day, 20 or more beds are occupied by
persons who are disabled, chronically ill or infirm, and
· A retirement home in which, on nomination day, 50 or more beds are occupied.
In light of these requirements, and in respect of our physically disabled electors, the
City of Picketing selects, as voting locations, only those facilities that are wheelchair
accessible. As well, special voting locations are established for residents in Village
Retirement Centre, Rosebank Villa, Central Park Lodge, and Rougemount Co-op.
The remaining sector of electors whose needs have not been met through these
aforementioned procedures, are our visually impaired electors. Traditionally, the needs
of this select group of electors have been met only in part. The Act allows for the
elector to appoint an individual to assist the elector in casting their ballot. This friend of
the elector, or possibly an election official, would proceed into the voting compartment
with the elector and read out the candidate options, and proceed to fill in the vote as
instructed by the elector.
Although the City of Pickering has not encountered any negative feedback from any of
our visually impaired electors, following the 1997 Municipal Elections, the City of Ottawa
experienced difficulties that resulted in a complaint to the Human Rights Commission
against the City of Ottawa. The essence of the complaint was that the visually impaired
electors were required to take "an oath of incapacity" and have another individual swear
an affidavit and vote on their behalf. There were no support devices available, such as
a Braille template, to enable them to vote on their own. The City of Ottawa reviewed its
practices and took steps to ensure that persons with a visual disability could vote
independently in the 2000 municipal elections.

Although the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 was not amended, the Chief Commissioner,
Ontario Human Rights Commission, issued correspondence to all Municipalities in
Ontario stating the following:
"...I believe that the settlement sets important standards that all
municipalities across the province should be meeting to ensure that their
services respect the needs of persons with disabilities. For this reason, I
encourage you to review your practices and policies to assess whether
there are any existing barriers and to take the necessary steps to remove
them so that all voters, including those with disabilities, have an
opportunity to participate fully in the election process, and to vote with
dignity."
In the 1997 and 2000 elections, the City of Pickering used Diebold (then Global
Elections Systems Inc.) optical scanning vote tabulator equipment. This equipment is
reasonably priced, secure, accurate and reliable, and the vendor has been supportive
and reliable. In light of the Ontario Human Rights Commission settlement and the
Ontarians With Disabilities Act (and the equivalent in the United States and worldwide),
Diebold offers a new product, the Accuvote-TS. Dieblod's touch-screen is a voting unit,
which is easily used by able-bodied, physically disabled and visually impaired electors.
The bright, sharp screen has a high resolution and adjusts to work in virtually any
lighting conditions. The system is able to display the full ballot on screen or to move
through several screens, office by office, thus allowing for zooming in and out. Visually
impaired voters can vote in private without assistance. A voice guidance system
presents the candidate information to the voter via headphones, and the voter can
make ballot selections by pressing keys on a standard keypad.
The Accuvote-TS units can be deployed in a "touch-screen only" scenario or in
conjunction with Diebold's paper ballot Accuvote optical scan units. Both systems
accept the votes, tabulate results per unit, and communicate via uploads to the central
database. Each Accuvote-TS ballot station is a self-contained stand-alone unit that
does not rely on any local area network. The touch-screen units would be run through
a rigorous diagnostic testing process prior to implementation, similar to the testing
performed on the optical scan units.
The Accuvote-TS technologY has been used in several US elections, but recently it was
used by the City of Windsor. In Windsor's bi-election five units were used in
conjunction with one optical scan unit at their two advance polls. The Manager of
Elections, City of Windsor reported that the two technologies worked very well together
and successfully communicated to their central computer system. When an elector
approached the voting table, they were offered the option to vote either by touch screen
or by paper ballot. Approximately 43% of their advance vote turnout chose the touch
screen system. As well, the City conducted a survey of those electors who used the
touch-screen method of casting their votes, and the large majority commented that they
preferred this method of voting to the traditional paper ballot.

The cost to rent an Accuvote-TS is the same price as renting an optical scanning vote
tabulator unit. However, to implement a "touch-screen only" election process would be
extremely costly as only one elector can use the equipment at a time. (The units can
been compared to that of a banking machine.) With the optical scanning vote
tabulators, however, several electors may be in various voting compartments
simultaneously and although there may be more than one elector queued to cast their
ballot through the vote tabulator, the wait is minimal (approximately 10 seconds). The
City of Windsor reported that the electors using the touch screen units were actually
quicker at completing their ballots and casting their votes than those electors who were
completing a paper ballot; but again, only one elector can vote per unit with the touch
screens.
To incorporate touch screen into our advance voting process would require two
additional election officials and the rental cost for three units, at a cost of approximately
$6500.00 ($950 for staffing and equipment rental $1750/unit).
Touch-screen voting is relatively new technology, which may or may not be embraced
by our electors. However, the opportunity for independent voting it offers to our visually
impaired electors is undeniable. We recommend, therefore that three Accuvote-TS
units be used at our two advance voting days in addition to our traditional one Accuvote
optical scan unit. Thus, allowing our able-bodied electors the opportunity to choose
between paper ballots and touch-screen, and enabling our visually impaired electors
the opportunity to "vote with dignity".

Dear Mayor Arthurs,
Traditionally, March is Red Cross Month
We would like to take this opportunity to increase awareness of the many and varied Red Cross
programs and services available to those who are in need in our communities.

Dear Mr. Arthurs: "~'- ,~ :
I am writing to invite you to once again consider proclaiming the month of Maeol~.2OIB~rutrition
~Month.
Nutrition month is an annual nation-wide campaign that is designed to increase awareness of the
importance of nutrition. Along with other communities across Canada, Durham's Child Nutrition Project
(DCNP) is trying to reach as many Canadians as possible to help reinforce the importance of adequate,
proper nutrition. A variety of events and a public awareness campaign will be planned during March to
help strengthen our message within the Region.
In 2002, with the support of the Region Municipality of Durham, DCNP helped 90 nutrition programs
provide over 11,000 children/youth with nutritious meals and snacks in a warm and caring environment.
Durham's Child Nutrition Project also receives tremendous support from local organizations including faith
groups, community organizations, local businesses, and the Breakfast for Learning Foundation. Almost
500 volunteers within the community spent their time planning nutritious menus, shopping, preparing and
serving food and supporting the many other aspects of the programs. Nutrition programs would not be
possible without the continued support from the community.
Your official declaration of marking March as Nutrition Month in the City of Pickering will not only
increase awareness, but will provide recognition to the committed volunteers and partners who help to
sustain child nutrition programs in Durham.
Please feel free to contact me at 905-686-2661 should you require further information on this month, or any
other aspect of Durham's Child Nutrition Project. Thank you for considering this oppommity to support
child nutrition in our community.
