Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome back to committee, Mr. Perrault.
The riding in which a Canadian living abroad votes is determined by their last address in Canada. The Elections Canada application for registration to vote abroad requires a prospective elector to provide proof of Canadian citizenship. However, the application does not require that a prospective elector provide proof of their last place of residence in Canada.
Without such proof, how does Elections Canada verify that a prospective elector is providing their actual last place of residence in Canada and is voting in the appropriate riding?
