What it does

The Field Management program ensures that Elections Canada headquarters and field staff are prepared to deliver an electoral event in all of Canada’s federal electoral districts. This includes the planning in each of the electoral cycles and the deployment of resources, assets, and infrastructure that enable Returning Officers to serve electors and political entities. It is also responsible for the development and delivery of field personnel training and for monitoring field operations during an event.
