The Provincial Government is granting Elections BC some relief when it comes to updating the voters’ list.
Attorney-General Shirley Bond has introduced legislation that will lift the requirement for door-to-door enumeration, “The legislation will remove that requirement. It will save taxpayers’ a significant amount of money; about 25 million dollars to do that. The Chief Electoral Officer though, will still have the ability to do targeted enumerations.”
Elections BC has said door-to-door voter registration is no longer necessary thanks to online and phone registration, and data sharing with other government agencies.
