Elections Canada to issue write-in ballot in Poilievre’s by-election, citing long candidate list

July 28, 2025

Voters in an upcoming Alberta by-election, where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is looking to win back a seat in Parliament, will use a special ballot after a record number of candidates put their names forward in the race, according to Elections Canada.

The ballot will no longer have the names of the more than 200 people running in the contest, Elections Canada said Monday. Instead, the ballot will be a single page where voters can write in the name and party of their chosen candidate.
