The Liberal Party is set to introduce new electoral reform legislation aimed at updating the Elections Act. This move, reported by various news outlets, is in alignment with a pact made with the NDP. The proposed changes include extending the voting period to three days, including weekends, and allowing voters the flexibility to cast their ballots at any polling station. Additionally, the reform seeks to enhance mail-in voting options and make a campus voting program permanent. The legislation, expected to pass, reflects a significant shift in how Canadian voters will engage in future elections.
The bill, if passed, would add two more days of advance voting, make a campus voting program permanent and “take steps toward” allowing voters to cast their ballots at any polling station in their riding #cdnpoli #cdnelxn https://t.co/dVt5px1CIp
