I appreciate that.
The reason I keep mentioning it proactively is that I think some sort of instruction has to be set up so that this is a statistic that those working at a poll in a long-term care setting will need to track in one way.
The individual who assists an elector has to do an oath or a declaration. Is it for each individual they assist? How does that work? For example, if I were a dietary aide at long-term care residence and I was asked that day if I could go around and see who would like help voting, would I do a declaration for each individual? Would that be logged?
I want to give a bit more context as to why I am so adamant in asking about this. I just don't want to be seen as not wanting to ensure that every elector in a long-term care residence is afforded the opportunity to vote. That is key. It is important. But I want to make sure that it's not prone to abuse and that we don't all of a sudden see individuals helping 20, 30, 40 or 50 people at a polling station where last time around 14 people voted. That's not to say that it wouldn't be a success—they were asked to do it—but I want to make sure we have some guardrails and statistics on that and to perhaps raise any concerns on that.
Maybe to summarize my question, is there a written oath or written documentation for each time one person helps? Is there a way to log that through the paperwork you have at a long-term care polling station?
