What it does

Elections Canada’s Voting Services program provides a framework for delivering accessible, convenient, and efficient voting services that enable Canadians to participate in federal electoral events. The program also implements alternative voting services providing Canadians with voting options that meet their needs. Lastly, the program serves candidates and political entities by making information and resources available to support their participation in the electoral process.
