Big election administration news from Canada: “Recent changes to the federal Elections Act will wind up disenfranchising more than 1 million rural voters, Canada’s elections watchdog warns. Just four months ago in a bid to clamp down on voter fraud, Parliament amended the Canada Elections Act to require that each voter produce proof of identity and residential address before being allowed to cast a ballot. But Elections Canada now says more than one million rural Canadians do not have a proper residential or civic address — complete with street name and number — as envisaged by the legislation.”
