In our view, in a pandemic election environment, it is highly likely that many more Canadians will vote using a special ballot. So there is a risk that the number of uncounted ballots, which is normally 40,000 to 50,000, could increase to 4 to 5 million. This could have a real effect not only on the final outcome of the election, but on Parliament itself. We believe that the priority in a pandemic context should be the intention of the voter, not the fact that the first and last name of the candidate for the constituency in question appears on the ballot paper.
