The Results are In

Arthur Beaudette & Michelle Pinon - News Advertiser

Every election season, we encourage eligible voters to exercise their right and, cast an informed vote for the candidate or candidates they feel will best represent them as an elected official.

It can be easy to forget the significance of a free and fair vote. There are always conspiracies and talk of voting fraud or election interference, but we live in a country where we can have confidence in our voting system.

I have spoken to people in other parts of the world who have stated “I need to go vote so my voting paper is not used by someone else,” which is clearly a concern with either the system or the public’s understanding of how the vote is actually conducted. We have also seen video of votes being overseen by local militia or the military of a autocratic leader and in even more blatant cases, actual ballots being stuffed in ballot boxes and violence at voting stations.

It is not uncommon for international observers to go to regions where there are suspected irregularities only to confirm and be witness to the corruption. Often, those in power do not care who sees. Thankfully, Canada is a much different environment, and with that, we present the unofficial results of Monday’s Municipal Election.
