If voters agree to have four locally elected trustees instead of two, when would the two new positions be filled?
If there is a ‘YES’ vote, then the Islands Trust would ask the Minister of Community Development to make the necessary legislative arrangements to create the two additional trustee positions for the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee. Once those arrangements were made, the Islands Trust would hold a by-election (likely in early 2009) so electors could vote for candidates wishing to fill the two new trustee positions.
