Hey I have a question - I heard that there was a sort of protest in your riding to protest FPTP and so a whole whackload of independents had registered (close to 90?). Did that cause a lot of confusion at the ballot? Were the physical ballots like massive?
Just curious, as I thought it was a really great (and funny) way to protest tbh, but wondering how much of a headache it caused for the typical voter.
Yes, there were 91 people on the ballot, a protest by Fairvote Canada against FPTP. The ballot was about a meter long. No real confusion. Just had to know who you wanted to vote for. If you search the riding results, most of those independents only got 1-2 votes each.
