In Newfoundland, a close election victory sparks concerns over 819 voided ballots due to marking errors.

Voters in Newfoundland are worried after a judicial recount in the recent federal election revealed that 819 ballots were voided due to marking errors in the Terra Nova-The Peninsulas riding. This resulted in the Conservative candidate, Jonathan Rowe, winning by just 12 votes. Two voters expressed hope that Elections Canada will review and improve their voting processes to prevent similar issues in the future. Elections Canada has stated they will look into ways to enhance voter instructions and reduce confusion.
