What Newmarket hires
On a voting day the equipment must say nothing at all.
A polling place is the one venue where a line of posts may not carry a message. No logo on the belt, no colour that belongs to a party, no sign with anything on it but directions. The line still has to work — voters arrive unevenly, some with strollers or walkers, some needing to sit — and it has to be plain to everyone that everyone is being treated alike, because a voting line that looks improvised or favoured becomes a complaint before it becomes a queue.
Neutral from end to end
Black posts and plain black belts, with no print, no sponsor and no accent colour anywhere on the order.
Room to pass and to wait
Lanes wide enough for a wheelchair or a stroller, and a spot off the line where somebody can sit down without losing their place.
Directions, and only directions
Blank sign holders that take the election office's panels, so the wording on every sign is theirs and nobody else's.
Where we deliver
Across the town and north towards the lake.
Civic days here are held in school gyms, church halls, community centres and municipal offices, often several of them on one date. Delivery, setup and collection are each priced as a separate line; a municipality with its own staff usually takes a drop at each location and lays the lanes out itself, following a plan that has already been approved.

Polling places and civic events in the area are usually set up in:
- the municipal offices and the council chamber
- the school gymnasiums used as polling stations
- the church halls and seniors' centres near the historic main street
- the community and recreation centres
- the public library branches
- the regional government buildings and their lobbies
Send the list of locations and the number of lanes each one needs, and the drops are quoted together as one route.
Worth asking
What a returning office in Newmarket asks.
- How much is a plain belt stanchion to rent in Newmarket?
- The black post with retractable belt — the set a polling place normally calls for — rents at $19 per day, $29 for three days and $39 per week, and the gold post with velvet rope carries identical rates. Advance polls spread across a week tend to suit the weekly rate. Dropping off at each location, building the lanes and picking everything up again appear on the quote as three distinct costs.
- Can the order be kept completely unbranded?
- Yes. Posts go out in plain black with plain black belts, and nothing printed goes on the order unless you ask for it. Mark the brief as a polling place and it is prepared as a neutral set from the start.
- How wide should a voting line be?
- Wide enough for a wheelchair or a stroller to move along it without anyone stepping out, with room to turn at every bend. The election office usually has accessibility requirements of its own, so send them with the brief and the lanes are laid out to those rather than to our defaults.
- Can one order cover several polling locations?
- Yes. A municipal vote spreads across schools, halls and civic buildings, so the hire is planned as a route in which each location takes its own count. Send the addresses with the number of lanes each one needs, and every stop is priced as part of one order.
- Do you supply town hall meetings and public consultations too?
- Yes, and the same neutral set suits them. A council meeting, a public consultation or a citizenship ceremony in a civic building needs a line that guides people to a desk without advertising anything. Black rope posts are an option where the room is more formal.
