The Hill Times
Election management bodies are Canada’s unsung democratic heroes. In 2024, as over half the world headed to the polls, Canada saw its own remarkable wave of electoral activity with eight major elections across provinces, territories, and municipalities, in addition to numerous by-elections.
For all the skepticism, there’s much to admire in EMBs' work. Organizing elections is, by design, rather dull. From selecting polling locations to training thousands of temporary workers, it’s a meticulous process that leaves little room for drama—and that’s precisely why it works so well. EMBs go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to vote.
