Voting under the Special Voting Rules

If electors are away from their electoral districts, they can also register to vote with Elections Canada in Ottawa. 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
  • Canadian Forces electors
  • 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
