Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Member for Range Lake, that Bill 51, An Act to Amend the Local Authorities Election Act, be read for a second time.

This bill would allow district education authorities to provide for bylaws for voting by mail-in ballot or by casting of ballots at the office of the returning officer and for the counting of ballots at a voting station by means of vote counting machines.
