This recent municipal election was a farce. It must be investigated.

This vote was a joke. The city should re-vote by and be supervised by an outsourced out of city agency, to ensure accuracy and fairness!

We need our entire election process examined. since when can an incombent mayor go to a homeless shelter and have people vote that are not residences of the city,and tax payers turned away at the polls because they "didnt have proper id" we need a whole new election redo

There were numerous major issues with our municipal election, also including holding a special poll at the meeting of "Shift Thunder Bay", a politically active group that lobbies our government on behalf of its members. That in itself should call into question the entire electoral process.

I did not receive a voter card either, although I have lived at my address for almost 5 years. Way too many people didn't receive cards apparently, while others received cards for people that hadn't lived at that address for 20 years! Something definitely not right here.

I was very surprised to see voting stations set up that were not private!! You had a choice of a private screened booth or a table out in the open with no privacy! This definitely should never be allowed!

People were turned away from jpoling staions even though they arrived way before closing and many were turned away that did not have their postcard but did have their drivers licence and other IDs

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
