Elections Canada has confirmed a serious administrative error involving 822 special ballots cast by voters from 74 electoral districts across the country during the 45th general election. The ballots were mistakenly left at the local returning office in Coquitlam–Port Coquitlam, rather than being sent to Elections Canada headquarters by the April 28 legal deadline.

Because of this error, the ballots cannot be legally counted under the Canada Elections Act.

Elections Canada claims the mistake was due to human error and non-compliance with written procedures. Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault has ordered a full review of internal controls to prevent a repeat of this blunder in future elections.

Political parties have been notified of the affected ridings, and Elections Canada insists that, according to their preliminary analysis, the ballot error would not have changed the outcome in any of the 74 districts.

When Elections Canada can’t follow its own rules, how can Canadians have confidence that their vote counts?

Please help me stop Mark Carney — before it’s too late!

Mark Carney wasn’t elected — he was installed by the global elites. And now that he’s in charge, they think they’ve won. But not if we have anything to say about it. While the bought-and-paid-for media slobber over their new golden boy, we’re hitting the streets, digging into his World Economic Forum playbook, and calling out the radical agenda they’re trying to ram down Canada’s throat. This is the fight of our lives — and we’re not backing down. Help us keep our reporters on the ground, our billboard truck on the move, and our message uncensored. Pitch in now if you want to stop Mark Carney before he does irreversible damage.
