MP Niki Ashton files complaint with Elections Canada

 

Niki Ashton, MP for Churchill-Keewatinook Aski has filed a complaint with Elections Canada, sighting possible voting irregularities during last October’s federal election.

 

One of the complaints is in regards to the community of Fairford, where the number of ballots counted in the community, exceeded the number of people who actually voted by 200. Ashton’s campaign manager had previously asked for an explanation regarding the discrepancy.

 

Elections Canada won’t comment on specific investigations, but they say they look into each complaint they receive.

 

Ashton beat out Liberal candidate Rebecca Chartrand by 912 votes.
