Drive-thru voting available in Comox, B.C., fly ‘n vote in Kelowna

COMOX, B.C. – There are drive-thru coffee businesses and banking facilities and now voters can cast their ballots at drive-thru voting bays in Comox, B.C.

For the first time in B.C., curbside voting will be available between noon and 4 p.m. on Saturday and Monday at a former car dealership, where the Comox district electoral office is located.

Local electoral officer Hildy Richardson says it’s an ideal solution for people who can’t leave their vehicles.
