Oil Springs to vote by mail, in person in 2022

Oil Springs residents will have a new way to vote in the 2022 municipal election.

Several other Lambton municipalities use vote by mail, including Dawn-Euphemia and Lambton Shores.
The village did consider joining with Sarnia, Petrolia and several other Lambton municipalities to get a company to run an internet vote in 2022 but councillors decided not to approve that route.
