It is important to get as many people voting as possible. By allowing on line voting in addition to paper ballots it should ensure more people will cast their votes.

I have little faith in the ability of the govt to competently operate a computerized voting system given their ongoing payroll fiasco. Also, how would online voting be scrutinized.

I used to favour online voting, but with the proliferation of social media and digital couch potatoes, I now think democracy deserves citizens getting off their asses (unless they can't and then should be accommodated) and going down to the polling station. Democracy requires some physical community.

Do not change results based on"1st past the post". The liberals, living in a 40-year old dreamland and in order to kefp their grip on power for an unlimited future, they are now trying to rig the electoral system in their favout.

Putting the voting system on Blockchain would make this a non-issue for the security part at least. Privacy - that's optional because would depending on how the Blockchain voting system is designed and if independent audit confirmed identity of vote concealed. Technology is already here. There are 100,000,000 US Americans that did not cast their ballot in this US election. Unbelievable but it is the reality. The issue remains how to deal with the risk of security of online connected devices, the abuse or forced voting or even purchase of votes.

I see no reason why anyone wants to change the voting system. If we move to electronic method of counting rather than paper, temporary jobs are lost plus we open up to hacking problems. We lose community gathering at the polls and national fun & togetherness with a common cause is lost.

Keep the existing system. It works fine. Improve accessibility by using digital means and expanded advanced voting options.

More wasted money by a liberal party that is still in the 1960's, Trudeau continues to live in dreamland not upholding our commitments abroad and refusing to acknowledge the truth of our sadly depleted military , wasting billions that will need to be repaid in the future sadly buying votes with our own money ends with the loss of democracy!
