They got Diebold in Canada? ;)

Nope, it's all done by paper ballots. Generally speaking there are more polling places per voters than there are in the US so it doesn't slow down the process too much.

Note election regulations in Canada are controlled at the federal level, not by the provinces.

No. Old fashioned paper ballot. You mark an X besides your choice of candidate in your riding and drop it in the ballot box. No chads to deal with. The only thing that could mar this election is vote fraud.

NO, here in Canada we still use the primitive and difficult to misinterpret PAPER ballot, where you make an "X" in the box beside the name and party of your choice.

Funny thing about the system we use is that results are tabulated, checked, confirmed and recounted far more quickly, and with vastly smaller variances, than the "advanced, modern" systems in use in places like, say Florida 2000, or Washington state 2004.

Change is good, but hard copy is hard to alter......
