Canada’s elections watchdog has fined a former staffer in the Prime Minister’s Office $1,500 for knowingly voting in the wrong federal riding in 2021.

A summary of the notice of the violation on the election commissioner’s website says Ayesha Chughtai tried to cast a ballot at the returning officer’s office in the Alberta riding of Calgary Skyview on Sept. 2, 2021.
