As Elections Canada has been advised by the Political Parties’ Advisory Committee, and as confirmed by returning officers during the last election, it is becoming increasingly difficult to locate individuals who are free to serve as deputy returning officers and poll clerks on election day.
Le Comité consultatif des partis politiques a informé Élections Canada qu’il devient de plus en plus difficile de recruter des scrutateurs et des greffiers pour le jour du scrutin, ce que les directeurs du scrutin ont d’ailleurs confirmé à la dernière élection.
