Electors on the lists

For the November 29, 2010, by-elections, the final lists of electors, established after election 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 election day
  • Canadian Forces electors whose Statement of Ordinary Residence provided an address in Dauphin–Swan River–Marquette, Vaughan or Winnipeg North
  • Canadian electors temporarily residing outside Canada whose address for voting purposes was located in Dauphin–Swan River–Marquette, Vaughan or Winnipeg North*
  • incarcerated electors whose residence for voting purposes was located in Dauphin–Swan River–Marquette, Vaughan or Winnipeg North**

*For Canadian electors temporarily residing outside Canada, the address for voting purposes is one of the following:

  • the address of the elector's last place of ordinary residence in Canada
  • the address of the place of ordinary residence of the spouse, the common-law partner or a relative of the elector, a relative of the elector's spouse or common-law partner, or a person in relation to whom the elector is a dependant, or
  • the address of the place of ordinary residence of a person with whom the elector would live if he or she were not residing outside Canada

**For incarcerated electors, the address for voting purposes is the first of the following places known to the elector:

  • the elector's residence before being incarcerated
  • the residence of the spouse, the common-law partner, a relative or a dependant of the elector, a relative of the elector's spouse or common-law partner, or a person with whom the elector would live if he or she were not incarcerated
  • the place of his or her arrest, or
  • the last court where the elector was convicted and sentenced

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. 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

Rounding of figures

Because the figures given in the tables in this report were rounded, there may be some discrepancies in the totals.

Number of polling stations

The number of polling stations reported is lower than the number put in place because some results were combined to protect the secrecy of the vote in polls where few ballots were cast.
