Angela Maynard was only 10 years old when women in Canada won the right to vote.

The 91-year-old Princeton woman recalls voting in every election 鈥 save for one year when she was prevented from leaving her house by a blizzard 鈥 and 2019 is no exception.

Not only is Maynard one of Canada鈥檚 oldest voters, she may be the only person to ever vote from the cab of a Ford F-150 truck.

Maynard and her son, Kim, turned out to the advance polls at the Princeton Legion Monday. As she is recovering from a broken hip, shoulder and wrist, she was not able to leave the vehicle and negotiate her way into the facility.

A quick call to Elections Canada was put through, and the returning officers were given permission to take a ballot box and ballot outside so that Maynard could have her say.

鈥淚f I don鈥檛 give my opinion by voting I can鈥檛 complain about anything,鈥 she said.

Advanced polls are now closed. Election Day is Oct. 21.
