Elections Ontario warns Ottawa voters to double-check polling place

OTTAWA — Elections Ontario is warning voters in the Ottawa area to double-check their polling place, after some were apparently given false information by political campaigns.

A spokeswoman for the province’s electoral agency says some voters in the Ottawa-Vanier riding received information on where they should go to vote, “and the information may be incorrect.”

Jessica Pellerin urges people in the riding — and across the province — to check their voter information cards, or Elections Ontario’s website, to verify where they should go to cast their ballot.

She says they can also contact their returning office directly.
