Voting under the Special Voting Rules
The Special Voting Rules allow voting by special ballot, by mail or in person at the office of the returning officer. If electors are away from their electoral districts, they can also register to vote with Elections Canada in Ottawa. Official voting results under the Special Voting Rules are broken down into two groups.
Under Group 1, we report results of votes cast by the following categories of electors:
- Canadian electors temporarily residing outside Canada
- Canadian Forces electors
- registered incarcerated electors whose address for voting purposes is located in the electoral district where the by-election is held
Under Group 2, we report results of votes cast by the following categories of electors:
- Canadian residents who are away from their electoral districts
- Canadian residents voting by special ballot in their own electoral districts
