Organization: Elections Canada

Month: October
Request Number: A-2024-00017
Request Summary: In the Canada Elections Act, section 541.1 mentions a "statement of electors who exercise their right to vote," and, further, the Canada Elections Act, section 541(1) states that "all documents referred to in sections 359, 432, 437, 475.4, 476.75, 477.59 or 478.8, all other reports or statements, other than election documents received from election officers, all instructions issued by the Chief Electoral Officer under this Act and all decisions by him or her on points arising under this Act are public records and may be inspected by any person on request during business hours." Given the statement of electors who exercise their right to vote fits all of the criteria: it is a statement, it is not an election document, it is not received by the CEO from an election officer; this document should be part of the public records, and I am requesting access to the statement for the following federal ridings: Kildonan–St Paul's, Winnipeg North, Winnipeg Centre and Charleswood-St James-Assinibooia-Headingley.
