Thunder Bay 2014 Municipal Election: Vote Outcome Compromised by the Process

If you get city tax bills , water bills, or hydro bills...should you not get a municiple election card??? I can see if you rent they might not have your name...but really ???

Never received cards.. Filled out online and still issues then they ask me why I didnt fill in ALL the ballots...

Let's back to hand-count elections. SSM had their results by 9pm.

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!

Hope this goes someplace

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?

this petition seems compromised

Exactly....and to boot Keith Hobbs son...his campaign manager calling people racist on social media...like he knows how those people think...must have some ESP that te rest of us do not have HOW DARE HE....CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER!!!

All names will be referenced and cross-checked to ensure they are on the Thunder Bay Voter's List or hold a Thunder Bay address. This is ongoing as names appear on the petition. And reviewed in finality upon the petition is closed and prior to forwarding to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. An example is two addresses for one voter may appear on a voters list, such as Greenstone area and the Thunder Bay voters list or Shuniah Thunder Bay allowing one person to vote in both or either communities.

Despite the fact that I have resided at the same address for over 5 years and I had ensured ahead of time that I was on the voter's list....I never received my voter's card. So I went to local voting poll to vote. I was advised in front of others that I had under voted. He asked me if I wanted to go add to my selections. I informed him that I am well aware of the voting protocol and had no intention of changing my ballot. And on election night, it sure seemed to take a while to get results and the online system crashed for a while. The whole process leaves something to be desired. And a city that funds alcohol for alcoholics has no business of setting up a polling station where they are fed their alcohol ! Very dubious indeed.

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 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.

Do believe results

Voting machines have never been audited AFTER the election.

I agree that the Shelter House votes need to be investigate especially since alcohol is served there.

did not like the privacy when in the voting area when at the tabluator machine

I believe a recount manually or remote is in order something fishy going on

let redo this corupet vote

Signed up!

I agree
