Kingsville residents are wondering if the town is responsible for a telephone survey asking about voter preferences for the upcoming Municipal Election.
Director of Corporate Service Clerk Jennifer Astrologo tells AM800 News the simple answer is absolutely not.
She says the town is not associated with this survey or any election polling asking residents to disclose candidate support.
Astrologo isn't alarmed by the survey but wanted to establish the town is not behind it.
"It's not uncommon for these types of polls to occur whether they are through social media or via telephone," she says.
She says polling's not uncommon, but it's not often seen municipally.
"These polls have happened, I know they happen in the federal and provincial election, I just don't think they're as common in the municipal realm, especially around here."
Anyone who's second guessing an election related survey is welcome to contact the town, she added.
"If they do have any concerns or questions about it they're welcome to call the municipal office and ask to speak with myself or someone in the clerk's office," says Astrologo.
Astrologo says it's up to residents if they choose to answer an unsolicited election survey.
The 2018 Municipal election is Oct. 22.
