Electronic tabulators to be used in BC elections

Update: Bill 43 Elections Act

Unsealed report on Dominion Voting vulnerabilities

Elections BC is reporitng that "B.C.’s next provincial election is scheduled for Saturday, October 19, 2024. B.C.’s next election will be the first general election conducted under the modernized Election Act. New technology will be used to administer the election. The changes include using electronic tabulators to count paper ballots and laptops to look up voters and cross them off the voters list. These changes will make voting faster and easier. This technology was tested successfully in the 2022 Vancouver-Quilchena and Surrey South by-elections."

Normally this wouldn't be a big deal but these are the same vote tabulations machines used in the last Surrey municipal election run by Dominion Voting. We need to preserve paper ballots for recounts. Preserving the ballot isn't good enough. We need to actually recount them.

Party officials question whether ballot-counting technology is safe from hacking
