Canada’s election watchdog has reported another case of a foreign national having voted in the 2021 federal election. This revelation followed an Elections Canada internal survey indicating that a third of election officials encountered attempts at ineligible voting in the 2019 federal election.
“Michael James Wiest was determined by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] not to be a Canadian citizen as of polling day for the 44th federal general election but was identified as having voted,” Elections Canada said in a “Summary of the Notice of Violation“ on Feb. 19, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
