I don't have an opinion on that, to be honest. We had a set period of time that's the minimum under the law here. It was a relatively short period of time. Expanding the availability of advance polls was really helpful. A lot of people voted in the advance polls.
The other thing is that for us, the ballots had to be received by 8 p.m. on election day, and they could be dropped off at many different places. I know that in the U.S. they can be received as long as they're mailed by election day, so those are things that you would have to think through.
It is a quirk of the Election Act here in B.C. that we have to wait 13 days before the mail-in ballots are counted. That is hopefully going to change. The mail-in ballots in B.C. are all counted by hand, and that's one of the reasons it takes quite a bit longer, and I know they are looking at how to speed up that process by using electronic means. That would be very helpful as well.
It depends on what systems you have in place to be able to efficiently count mail-in ballots.
