Fixing the vote

The federal Conservatives are trying to clarify how another group of voters will cast a ballot.

If you live in a rural route, or have a post office box, it may be difficult for you to register to vote.

So Conservatives will table legislation on Friday to fix the problem of identifying voters who do not have a municipal street address.

This isn't the first voting problem the government has had to fix. The chief electoral officer said that legislation passed in June allowed veiled women to vote. So last Friday the government tabled another bill, forcing women who wear veils to lift them, and identify themselves to a female returning officer.

Hopefully all of this will be passed and resolved by the time a federal election is actually held.
