From Far and Wide
Since 1993, voting by special ballot has enabled electors away from home to vote by mail. An ingenious system of envelopes within envelopes guarantees both the integrity and the secrecy of the vote.

Making It Easier to Vote
The number of mechanisms to ensure that all voters can exercise their franchise has increased greatly over time. Employers had to give their staff sufficient time off to vote on election day. Voting hours were extended. Advance polling and voting by postal ballot were introduced at first on a limited basis, but ultimately were made available to any voter unable to go to the polling station on election day. Level access for people in wheelchairs was provided at polling stations. Mobile polls began visiting various institutions to collect the vote. Voter information was systematically made available in both official languages, and in some Native and ancestral languages.
