Organizers of Indigenous Vote Saskatchewan 2015 will be in La Ronge Saturday to present information on the upcoming federal election.
The Aboriginal volunteer organization came together to help Indigenous voters understand some changes introduced by the federal government.
Co-organizer Melody Wood says many people are wondering what they need to do in order to take part in the election process.
“The first thing that we are trying to do is educate people about the various barriers that are in place to Indigenous voting, there are a few of them so we are going to do some education around them, so with all of these barriers in place, how do we get people properly registered to vote,” she says.
Wood says questions are also being asked about which candidates should be supported by Indigenous voters.
“Education surrounding all parties for people to determine where their vote might best lie through education and we will assist through the most non-partisan manner that we can.”
Wood says the organization can also help people decide if they should be voting as a group to support one party or candidate.
The meeting is free and begins at 1 p.m. at Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre.
