Voting under the Special Voting Rules

The Special Voting Rules allow voting by special ballot, including by mail or in person at a local Elections Canada office.

Official voting results under the Special Voting Rules are broken down into two groups.

Under Group 1, we report results of votes cast by the following categories of electors:

  • Canadian electors temporarily residing outside Canada

  • incarcerated electors

Under Group 2, we report results of votes cast by the following categories of electors:

  • Canadian residents who are away from their electoral districts
  • Canadian residents voting by special ballot in their own electoral districts
