The current system is flawed. That's why I had my table include a provision that wasn't my own, but which had been included in Bill C‑65. It would enable an individual to stay on the register without their details appearing on the voters lists provided to the parties. The details would remain on the voters list provided to election workers, but not on the lists provided to parties and candidates. That was a provision in Bill C‑65, but it isn't in this bill.
Right now, anyone can remove themselves from the registry for any reason. However, if the person wants to vote at their polling station, they have to apply to be registered, but their name and address will appear on the final lists that will be distributed, even if they remove themselves afterward.
Voters can go to the returning officer's office to take advantage of a special provision that allows them to vote by special ballot. Once the address is confirmed, the address that gets put on the list is the returning officer's office. When this mechanism is used, the person doesn't then get entered in the register, and their name appears on the voters lists with only that address.
There is a mechanism, but it isn't as comprehensive as what was set out in Bill C‑65. That's why it's relevant to suggest this.
