Calling All Canadians
« on: June 30, 2004, 12:05:00 PM »
Being a non-Canadian I can't really speak from experience but I'm assuming when you register to vote you are given a choice of areas to vote at or at least you're told where you need to go.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong about that but assuming I'm correct on this matter the reason it's done this way is so someone couldn't vote at 10 different locations. I applaud Canada for having those measures in place, it's there for your protection more than for your difficulty.

Fuck Canada!

...I love this country!  I love this land!  FUCK YOU!
The voting location isn't even a block away from me... so what if you couldn't vote, where would you rather live?

I guess it is set up like the US.  When you register to vote, you are given a location that you are allowed to vote at.  It has the address on your voter registration card and is based on where your home address is.  When you go to vote, you have to show picture ID and your name is located on a list of other registered voters for that precinct.  This prevents you from going all over the city and voting multiple times.  Perhaps this will change if electronic voting is ever implemented, but for now the easies way to prevent voter fraud.
