‘Targeted advertising’ told Kamloops residents of voting hours: Elections Canada
KAMLOOPS — Elections Canada says Kamloops-Shuswap-Central Rockies is one of eight ridings across the Canada that spans two time zones. Thus, the riding is highlighted on the agency’s website to make voting times clear.
However, in its response to CFJC Today‘s questions, the agency did not address a mistake made on voter cards distributed to some residents of the riding.
Certain residents received voter cards that listed voting times on general voting day (April 28) as 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Polling stations in the Pacific time zone were actually open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday.
Some voters received a second voter card with corrected times.
