OTTAWA—The body in charge of administering Canada’s elections was taken by surprise by this week’s announcement that there could be major reforms coming to the way people vote, including a three−day−long polling day.

The Liberal−NDP confidence and supply agreement, announced on Monday, said the government would work with Elections Canada to explore ways to make it easier for people to vote, including possibly extending election day to three days.
