Election Information

I recommend that you check the links yourself! I've copied some of the information below:

Ways to vote

See this page for full details.

Vote on election day (April 28)

Vote by mail

Special Ballots

Remember: Once you apply to vote by special ballot, you can't change your mind and vote at advance polls or on election day.

See this page for deadlines for when you can apply for one, and when they must receive it by. It also has information on what you must do differently when filling out this ballot: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=vote&dir=spe&document=index&lang=e

If you are having any issues, reach out to your local Elections Canada office to know your options.

Data on your district:

Find your riding, your local Elections Canada office, and your candidates by using the search on the homepage: elections.ca

You can also use the detailed search at: elections.ca/scripts/vis/FindED

Kind looks like we'll need to wait all night based on the initial results coming out of the alantic.

The powers that be decided this election is paper ballots only, so no counting machines to make it go faster.

I mean I get it, but the results will take longer than normal.

More secure.

Fewer chances for PP to use lies to delay his inevitable loss.

Honestly for the best, counting machines are potentially vulnerable to foreign interference.

Not really tho. That's an American thing. Our elections are managed by an independent Elections Canada, not by individual parties. We protect our right to vote pretty well.

But to avoid any 'argument' that the Cons might throw up, Elections Canada decided this would be best.

Anything that runs source code can be hacked. I'm not talking about elections canada or one of the parties influencing the votes. I'm talking about foreign state sponsored cyber warfare undermining our election.

If it's online. The vote counting machines are not.

[–] hazeydreams@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

You can 100% install hardware back doors. Anyone that says something can't be hacked has never worked on secure products before. There is always a way in. Being disconnected from a network isn't always enough.

If it’s online. The vote counting machines are not.

Many times a voting machine in America - not 'online' - still was reachable on wifi or bluetooth, and was thus very vulnerable.

For more info, talk to the people who secure America's election, if you can find them after they were fired.
