Elections Canada probing thousands of 2019 election ballots with unclear evidence of citizenship


"No outcome in any riding would have been affected by possible instances of non-citizen voting," said Elections Canada in a media statement. Elections Canada said it's still following the paper trail by opening sealed ballot bags containing all documents related to each file. "Every potential case is unique and has its own paper trail," said Elections Canada. It's illegal under the Canada Elections Act for a non-Canadian citizen to vote while knowing they are ineligible. Elections Canada said it's usually only countries that issue national ID cards that require proof of it at the polls — Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand don't.
