Voting online or by telephone is a fast, convenient, and secure way to vote, which has been previously used successfully by many municipalities, including Midland. The Town takes its responsibility to run a fair and secure democratic election seriously and has processes in place to do so. Under law, eligible voters can only vote once in the election, and the internet and telephone voting system used by the Town can flag irregular voting occurrences for further investigation.
Before voting, eligible voters are reminded of the following important information: It is illegal to vote more than once in the same municipality. The Town will pursue individuals who commit voter fraud, which can carry a fine of up to $25,000 and imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.
