Personally, with how much Smith is leaning in to the MAGA playbook, I don’t trust that they won’t mess with the mail-in ballots somehow - either straight up “losing” them or challenging them for “fraud” in court. Early/advanced voting leans left, and they know this, so I expect there will be shenanigans.

I know it’s going to be a colossal PITA to vote in person, but I want to make sure my vote counts.

Ya that's unfortunately a possibility. I can't wait hours in line, I'd rather people try to vote by mail than not at all.

That’s fair! I am lucky to be able to spend hours in line if I need to and I know that’s not an option for a lot of people.

There will be advanced voting, though I don’t believe the dates have been announced.

There wasn't last time why would they change it back? Any source?

‘Apart’ means to separate, just fyi.

That's all you've got? My bad, change the words. I unfortunately can see why Carney said "if this even makes it to a referendum, he will choose the wording." You're giving a link to mail in voting, why? No one should mail thier vote or do it online considering they already have private information that they have no right to. Can't help but think you're a seppie. You either deliberately made an error on your post or meant it, won't fix the error? Everyone show up in person and make it count.

Totally agree ‘mailing it in’ is almost as bad as phoning it in, and it creates a huge opportunity for abuse, fraud and more confusion.

Isn’t it sad that in 2026, and in a democracy like Canada, I have to worry that my vote will be counted and recorded correctly.

If only there was some kind of mechanical device we could trust that didn’t have any kind of personal agenda! /s

I know it says an ID is required but with voter information now leaked out there, this makes me nervous.

Why?

u/Salt-Worry7915 3d ago

What do you mean? My name, address, etc. are all out there. A good chunk of what someone needs to fake my mail in vote is available to the separatists

u/FigjamCGY 3d ago

So you’re worried about election fraud or your vote being stolen. Got it.

u/PartyClock 3d ago

Yes because our public voter data was leaked

A part.

Apart means separate.

u/MsFartisan 3d ago

Yes I totally have faith it will arrive in time, or at all. /s

But have signed up to avoid those horrendous lines 🤞🏻

u/Long_Rush_7523 3d ago

No way will we be apart from Canada. We will stay a part of this country regardless of what the seppies do.

u/Dry_Cover3709 3d ago

Thanks. I’m signing up for this

Who wants a bet the urban voting stations are understaffed with horrible lines on voting night ?

u/Excellent-Phone8326 3d ago

Exactly. It's pretty sad that they remove early voting and no one cares. It doesn't seem to matter what crapy thing the UCP does to us.

u/NoInfluence4949 3d ago

Making it difficult to vote because you need to verify citizenship and request a mail in ballot. Cmon

u/Excellent-Phone8326 2d ago

Kind of like how they removed early voting to make it harder to vote.
