Advanced surveys in a historical federal team for the Battle de Battle de Alberta Battle are opened today, and for the first time, the elections, Canada, says that voters must complete a blank vote.
Prime Minister Mark Carly called the BYLE election in June after conservative Damien Kurek, who won the position in the general elections of April, resigned so that the conservative leader Pierre Poilievre could run.
Poilievre lost his Long Data Carleton’s seat.
There are 214 candidates recorded in the partial election, which makes it the largest number of candidates into a federal vote in Canadian history. Those who execute include liberal candidate Pailievre Darcy Spady, NDP candidate Katherine Swampy, Jonathan Bridges of the Popular Party of Canada and Ashley MacDonald of the Green Party. Early surveys close on Monday.
For the first time, the elections, Canada, says that voters must complete a blank ballot.
Canada elections declared that, due to the record number of candidates, voters will receive special ballots instead of writing instead of standard list vote.
Most candidates on the electoral ballot are associated with a group of defenders of the electoral reform known as the longest voting committee.
Canada’s elections says there have been some exceptions to its regular vote. The ballots adapted with two columns have been used in elections with a higher number of candidates.
In this selection of the by, it is not just about marking an X. voters must write by hand the name of their favorite candidate in a blank space.
“His vote will be counted, even if they write the candidate’s name badly,” said agency Matthew Mckenna spokesman.
“They can also include the name of the political party. However, if you write only the name of a political party, you cannot tell your vote. The name of the candidate must be there.”
The leader of the conservative party Pierre Poilievre, who speaks in Calgary on Thursday, is asked how he feels in the August 18 team, where he is running to recover a seat in the House of the Commons.
In an unrelated press conference in Calgary on Thursday, Pailievre expressed his frustration towards a group known as the longest voting committee.
The group has been organizing candidates to execute in the elections in recent years to promote electoral reform, and most of the 214 candidates that are executed in the next election are associated with this group.
“They are adding their names even though they are not campaigning. They do not expect to win. They just want to flood the ballot to confuse the situation [and] Make it more difficult for people to vote, “Pailievre said.
Pailievre suggested that the government should change the number of signatures that a candidate must have in a nomination form. Currently, candidates only need 100 signatures to qualify for the ballot.
“The simple solution is to say that if you want to be a candidate, you must obtain several hundred their own signatures. You cannot use the same 100 or 200 signatures for all candidates.”
He also recommended that all candidates must have their own financial agent.
Speaking in a candidate forum last week, the independent candidate, Bonnie Critchley, expressed her frustration with the longest voting committee and pointed out that several candidates will not be able to vote in the partial election because they do not live in driving.
“If you want to run through an area, you must live here. This longer garbage has to stop,” he said.
Another candidate forum is scheduled for Thursday night at the Stettler Community Hall.
At the press conference in Calgary, Pailievre also talked about his experience in the campaign in Alberta rural riding.
“I meet many people who are very angry at the way the federal government has abused and mistreated by Alberta. What they say is the era of ‘paying and shutting up’ has come to an end,” he said.
“Alberta deserves a better treatment within Canada, and one of the ways in which we make it happen, one of the ways in which we join our country is to produce our resources.”
Canada’s elections said voters can also vote early by mail or in the local office of the Canada elections in Battle River-Crowot until Tuesday, August 12. The official election day for the election is August 18.
