Thank you.
It's a good question and it's actually a topic that I think comes up in every election, not just one around a pandemic.
If a person is unable to physically mark their ballot, they can receive assistance to mark their ballot. There is a process whereby the person has to solemnly declare that they will mark the ballot in the manner in which they are directed. It's a very serious oath and commitment to make, and we expect people to honour a commitment or an oath like that.
We want every Canadian who wishes to vote to be able to vote. I know first-hand, having seen elections take place in our homes, that the staff take a lot of time to be trained on elections and to understand the very complex and thick Canada Elections Act. I think they do an excellent job of making sure people vote, and hopefully the exceptions are very few.
