By-Elections May 13, 2002 – Official Voting Results


SYNOPSIS OF THE OFFICIAL VOTING RESULTS

Note to the reader

Electors on the lists

For the seven May 13, 2002 by-elections, the final lists of electors, established after polling day under section 109 of the Canada Elections Act, included:

  • electors listed in the National Register of Electors
  • electors registered during the revision period
  • electors who registered on polling day
  • Canadian Forces electors whose Statement of Ordinary Residence provides an address in one of the seven electoral districts
  • Canadian electors temporarily residing abroad whose address for voting purposes is located in one of the seven electoral districts¹
  • incarcerated electors serving sentences of less than two years whose residence for voting purposes is located in one of the seven electoral districts²

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. Two groups of electors may use this method.

The first group consists of electors whose names appear on separate lists:

  • Canadian electors temporarily residing outside Canada
  • Canadian Forces electors
  • registered incarcerated electors whose address for voting purposes is located in one of the seven electoral districts and serving sentences of less than two years

The second group consists of electors whose ordinary residence is located in one of the seven electoral districts and whose names appear on the lists of electors for the polling divisions, but who register to vote by special ballot because they do not wish to vote at an advance poll or on polling day.
