Terrebonne Federal Byelection: Blank Ballots and Security Measures

Voters in the Terrebonne federal byelection on April thirteenth will mark their choice by writing the candidates first name or initials and last name on a blank ballot. Elections Canada introduced this method due to past races with numerous candidates in the riding. A full list of candidates will be provided at advance polls and on election day. The move follows the Supreme Courts decision to nullify the spring election result, and the Longest Ballot Committee plans to recruit hundreds of independent candidates. Elections Canada assures that blank ballots have the same security features as standard ones, and special ballot rules will be followed during counting.
