Elections Canada says it is investigating after a voter in a Quebec riding came forward with an envelope that had been returned to sender.
Inside was a vote for the Bloc Québécois in the Terrebonne riding, where, as it stands, incoming Liberal MP Tatiana Auguste was declared the winner by one vote after several recounts.
Elections Canada said the return address printed on this elector’s return envelope was incorrect — specifically, part of the postal code.
Good thread at the link, h/t Mauser
I expect that the BQ will contest the Terrebonne election, and the Terrebonne election will be annulled, leading to a by-election.
The story:
April 5: Elector sends mail ballot using Elections Canada pre-addressed envelope.
May 2: Ballot is returned due to incorrect postal code. https://t.co/kxdyCk7i7T— Election Watcher (@CdnElectWatch) May 12, 2025
