I witnessed "Under Voted" comments by the officer to voter in front of me in line. I thought it was none of our business and a private matter for the voter.
I have misgivings after this municipal election, with the practices of the city clerk Mr. John Hannam, with his total involved biases to keeping the current council in power and the deals with the Event Centre Condo's and waterfront hotel development.

I went to the polling station assigned to my area, even though the only voting card I received was in my previous last name and went to my old address. I was told that the wait was 45 minutes to an hour. With two small kids, that was impossibility. I showed someone my card and decided to try the alternate polling station listed on it. I drove to that station and was rejected there, even though there was no line-up there and told to go back to my original polling station. I went back to the original polling station, but too close to the closing time and was rejected at the door. After all this effort, I didn't vote. This is something wrong with this process. Why is online voting not an option?

Myself and so many people I talked to did not receive a voter's card even though they have not moved since te last election. Even after registering online (as I was told to do) and printing out my form to verify I was now on the voter's list, I was apparent STILL not on the voter's list. Nobody at the polling station knew that they were doing and people were waiting for 30-45 mins to vote. I saw many turn away. Too many errors for my liking. And then the "crash" as results are coming in? We need a system we can trust in!

I was told I under voted and that I didn't properly fill out my card. Then I had to go back and get a lady to fill in some bubbles and initial it. the whole process was horrible. in only 24. but I try to vote in every election. this was the worst by far

Husband and I have owned our home for over 16 years and we did not receive a card and had to register at the polling station.
