English boards' voters have two weeks to make sure they're on the right list for Nov. 2 elections
Government budget cuts and declining enrolment are two of the main issues facing the next chair of the English Montreal School Board.
School board elections will take place across the province on Sunday, November 2.
Two candidates are vying for the top job at the EMSB, and they recently sat down with CBC Montreal's Debra Arbec.
She spoke with former CBC broadcaster Anne Lagacé-Dowson, candidate for chair of the EMSB
Debra Arbec also spoke with Angela Mancini, current chair of the EMSB and candidate in the upcoming election.
Voters must register for English boards
Anglophones hoping to vote in school board elections have two weeks to make sure they're on the right voter list.
Those with children currently enrolled in the English system are automatically registered to vote for the English board.
However, everyone else is put on the voter list for the French board by default.
That applies even for those with children who attended English schools and have since graduated.
The deadline to be added to the list of eligible voters is Tuesday, October 14.
