Letter: No polling location in Gatchell

I received my voting card last week for the upcoming elections of 2014.

As I was scrolling down the list to look at all the voting locations set up for my area of Ward 1, I noticed that Gatchell was not on the list and that there was no location set up in this area for these residents. In the past, there has always been a voting location in the Gatchell area.

This was a great concern for me, as there are a lot of seniors in Gatchell that don’t have a means of transportation to reach the other voting locations in Ward 1.

My concern is that if they cannot get to a voting location, then we are losing out on many voices that need to be heard, which impacts the voting poll quite drastically.
