Mr. Chair, that's a great question. As we all know, the design of federal ballots is prescribed by the Elections Act, which is written by you MPs.
I'm not aware of any documented cases of people being prevented from voting because of too many candidates. I am aware of existing accessibility concerns surrounding the voting process. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind gave a series of recommendations to this very committee on improving accessibility when Bill C-65 was being discussed. I would point out that none of their recommendations have been implemented by you. I would also point out that none of their recommendations involved arbitrarily restricting citizens' rights to run as a candidate.
I'm not an expert on accessible ballot design. I would suggest that you talk to the disability advocates about that.
