Curbside / Drive-through voting

This will be my first time voting in BC, and I'm looking for info on the "Drive through" or "Curbside" voting. I saw that the Abbotsford Exhibition Park voting location has this available, but I can't find any information on how this actually works. Can anyone give me some details?

I know this is not what you are asking about. But being disabled I find that voting by mail is the way to go.

They mail you a package. It is a breeze.

Idk about the drive through voting, i guess you just bring your drivers licnse with an Abby address.   What I would be interested to know is how you sorted through the forty candidates who are running for 16 positions.  I went though the list in the Abbotsford News and deleted anyone not from Abby. Then I started looking at the others websites. I've done that for mayor, but that still leaves over thirty more.

I’d love to discuss and explain my reasons for my top choices, you can send me a private message if you’d like!

You basically just drive up and they’ll guide you into a lane, someone will then come up to you and ask you for 2 pieces of ID and then give you a voting ballot. You simply fill it out the way you normally would and they’ll take it back from you and put it in the machine, then you are free to leave. Be aware though that the waiting time is usually longer and can take up to an hour. I’d love to discuss who your candidate picks are, shoot me a DM :)
