Elections Canada will require voters to write in their preferred candidate’s name in the upcoming by-election in Battle River—Crowfoot, Alta., where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is running for a seat.
Standard ballots will be replaced by a write-in ballot with a blank space where the voter must write in their choice, after more than 200 candidates entered the field, according to Elections Canada, who announced the changes July 28.
