Over half of Canadians are against allowing voters to cast their ballots over the internet in federal elections, according to Elections Canada research.

After each federal election, Elections Canada conducts the National Electors Study, which produces two reports, one on voter experience and the other on the effectiveness of the agency’s Voter Information Campaign. In the latest report on voter experience, issued September 2022, voters were asked their opinion on election-related technology.
