Yes mail in voting for extenuating circumstance.
@Jordan yes election day. It is still like early voting . You can’t get everybody but this lady from Eastern Ontario could maybe get one in in time.
@Fred Frond No, the deadline to request a mail-in ballot was September 14. This video was posted on the 16th, but I think it’s safe to assume it wasn’t “breaking news” and she found out she had to isolate before the deadline.
@- not disagreeing with you. Looks like she may have fell between the cracks on this one a victim of circumstance.
If voting was so important she should have went to early polls.
@Jumbo Me shut up bot
If voting was so important to her than she should have cast her early vote.
Oh looky here… the artificial intelligence bot, didn’t even change your name. They need to re-prgram you.
E-DAY in Sept 20… Every person should be allowed to vote on E-DAY no matter if they are sick or not
@scary terrry oh look another goof
@Jumbo Me no other programmable comebacks?
@scary terrry This goof is all over the place! Must be some kind of liberal troll!🤮
So – she can vote by mail if she makes the effort. Get on with some real news
she can’t the deadline was the 14 to apply for a mail ballot.
@John Wellington She would have been told on the 11th to start isolating. She had 4 days to apply online.
voter suppression. might need to redo the election.
Mail in ballot???
Exactly
Nope she missed it.
You should be embarrassed for reporting this crap
Mail in?
This is what happens when we begin losing rights.
S.O.S Canada on life support! If Trudeau is re-elected he will pull the plug!
Fascist Chinada
Shouldn’t have been to that bee keeping event
she should be allowed to vote, just have a special line for them
Whatever happened to testing?
Absolutely inexcusable. If she has to isolate, they have to find a way to let her vote. This has epic lawsuit written all over it.
Mail in ballots 🗳
Has she ever thought of using the mail in vote?
it’s been closed for days..?
​@ThisJustin She would have been told on the 11th to start isolating. She had 4 days to apply online.
Would you mail yourself $500 cash and trust it would arrive…? Canada post mail is so not an efficient or accurate to vote. That’s why there’s insurance when you send packages. No guarantee it’s going to make it on time … or ever.
But she should have had the option to do a special ballot. They missed my dad at his care home so I called the elections office and the mailed me the ballot (2 days) I got him to sign it and hand delivered it by Friday.
Wonder how many others conveniently were missed. 🤔
She was told to stay home for 10 days until the 21st.
Meaning she was told on the 11th.
Mail in voting applications had to be in by the 14th.
Meaning she had 4 days to apply for mail-in voting, she had plenty of opportunity.
All of the information and ways to vote, including instructions for mail-in ballots are on the voter card.
I do not feel pity for this woman.
However this does raise the question; what would have happened if she was told to isolate on the 15th? I agree that there should be a system in place to get the votes of isolated voters, who had to start isolation between the 15th and 20th.
A bee keeper at a bee keepers event, sounds like a lib, keep her away from the polls
Cough voter suppression cough cough
