Yes.
Federal elections, Provincial elections, City elections, (we don’t get to elect dog catchers, or Judges), all happen as separate entities.
They handed me a paper ballot with 4 names, each with a white circle beside the names.
I marked an X in the box beside one name, and handed it back to the worker.
She ripped the numbered tag off the edge, and gave my ballot back to me so I could put it in the box.
Are you showing this to your kids?
I haven’t really thought about this before.
How foreign it must seem to you.
(How the election works in Canada.)
I’m somewhat familiar with the Parliamentary election system, because I read Margaret Thatcher’s memoirs. It is foreign to just wipe out the equivalent of the House of Representatives, though.
