Thank you. I believe perhaps there are two issues there. One is an issue of the
accuracy of the list and the other is with respect to access.
With respect to the accuracy of the list, for those individuals who may be inclined or may be staying at the shelter for a longer period of time, it is hoped that they would either be registered through the normal process or during the revision period would be added to the list and, therefore, would be reflected on the official list of electors on polling day or during another polling opportunity. If that is not the case and you can see how that could arise, especially for a shelter where a stay may be for a shorter period of time, then those individuals would be eligible to register to vote at the polling station and in those cases they would be expected to complete an Oath of Elector. That is to provide their name, address and swear to an oath that they are who they say they are and they reside where they say they reside. So we have a sworn affidavit essentially of their eligibility.
To the issue of access, I think that’s a different question. I think there may be value in pursuing the Member’s question with those shelters to ensure that where they are of a single sex, the candidates of the alternate sex do have some opportunity if it meets the security requirements of the shelter so that all candidates would have the opportunity to provide their message as candidates so that those individuals are just as fully informed as any other elector before they cast their ballot. Thank you.
