The election agency is preparing for as many as four million mail-in ballots, and warns that the added volume could delay the release of election results. By comparison, in 2019, fewer than 50,000 voters cast their ballots by mail.
Stéphane Perrault, the chief electoral officer, plans to formally recommend “limited” changes to the Canada Elections Act to allow for greater election safety measures – such as allowing in-person votes to be cast over two weekend days, and allowing mail-in ballots sent before the deadline to continue to be accepted until the end of that weekend voting period.
At least seven in 10 people in countries including Canada, Australia and Italy give their governments’ response a positive review. In Canada, 89 per cent of those on the political left said Canada has done a good job, compared to 82 per cent on the political right. In the United States, just 47 per cent think the country has done a good job, and 52 per cent think the country has done a bad job.
