Residents wanting to vote early in the Edgewater commercial space service assent vote must register by 4:30 p.m. today.
Advance registration is taking place at the Edgewater Community Hall.
If you miss the opportunity you will have to register on voting day.
The question on the ballot is whether residents want the RDEK to establish the commercial space service an let it be leased to entities such as public authorities, societies, corporations, individuals, or used by the RDEK.
Part of establishing the service would include the RDEK borrowing $450,000 over 15 years.
The assent vote is scheduled for Nov. 22, but there will be an advanced voting oppurtunity on Nov. 12.
Both voting days will be held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Edgewater Community Hall.
If the vote is in favour, the bylaw will go back the the RDEK board for final approval and the procurement process would start soon after.
Construction is expected to take seven months.
If residents vote against it, the service will not move forward.
