    We recently asked residents to participate in a survey to help us improve our election processes following the 2022 Parksville local government election. Open for three weeks, we heard from 67 residents. With the election behind us, it is important we continue to improve the voting experience at future local government elections. Here is what we heard:

    • 88% of respondents voted in the October election in Parksville.
    • 95.5% were extremely or moderately aware of the voting day date and 85% were extremely or moderately aware of advance voting dates.
      Residents were confident they were aware of their voting options, knew what they needed to do to vote and how the electoral process works.
    • 70% were satisfied with how the election was administered with 10% dissatisfied.
    • 80-85% of respondents indicated it was easy to locate voting location, location was accessible, and voting was easy.
    • 83-94% agreed election staff were knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, efficient, and respectful.
    • 26% would like to see more advance voting dates, 34% would like to see more accommodation for seniors and people with disabilities, and 38% wished for other voting options such as mail-in or online ballots.

    We appreciate the input and comments from residents about how the election process could be improved and these comments will be considered prior to the next general election in 2026.
