The crazy thing is, the pencils provided have been tested to be no smudge. There is likely higher chance of a spoiled ballot if someone brings in their own un-tested pen or marker. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is preparing for the big lie.

The conservatives are planning a Trump-like denial of the results and are FLOODING tiktok with conspiracy theories that elections Canada wants to use an eraser on conservative votes to change them liberal.

I wish the Con cretins who need to read this could, but they are stuck in the Meta world without fact checking.

True but there is an explanation for why they use the pencil, so I get it.

They’re freaking out cause the polls are holding steady….. setting up the ‘stop the steal’ narrative. No originality…. Sad.
VOTE!

"By law, Elections Canada must provide electors with a black lead pencil to mark their ballot. However, there is nothing in the law that prevents an elector from marking their ballot with a pen or a pencil that they bring with them to the polling place. "

Yeah, they must provide you with something to mark your ballot, but if you’ve got a pocket full of pens, pick your favourite!

Next time Elections Canada should provide crayons just these folks.

You can bring your own pen if it makes you happy.

And, if you make a mistake, just go back to the desk, tell them, and get a “do-over” ballot.

It’s all good.

The most important goal of the federal election is that EVERY person gets to add their vote.
