Election Anyone else getting Mayoral campaign texts?

This feels quite intrusive to me.. I have never received a text asking me to vote ever while I’ve lived in Milton— it strikes me as slightly odd. I wonder how they obtained my number. Are they simply broadcasting this to anyone with a Milton area code?

Are they allowed to be driving people to the polls? Why is she directing people to her own website instead of official channels?

Very much allowed! And it’s a huge benefit for voters who have mobility issues and senior citizens. Every election there’s usually organizing around getting vans from local seniors home to the polls. Makes sure that the entire community can participate in the electoral process and keeps it accessible :)
