Online voting glitch may have caused votes to be cast in wrong ward

THUNDER BAY - An anomaly in the City of Thunder Bay’s online voting system resulted in more than two dozen voters potentially casting a vote in the incorrect ward, the city revealed Friday.

Internet voting was disrupted briefly on the afternoon of Oct. 5 while the issue was corrected. The city said there was no breach of security with the system and no other irregularities were identified in any other races. “What we know is we know when and how individuals cast their ballot,” Power said. “The secrecy of the ballot is paramount and protected by the [Municipal] Elections Act... I don’t know how they voted, so whether they voted for ward councillor, I don’t know. Once your ballot is in the box, the secrecy of your ballot is protected, and as the clerk I cannot go into the ballot box, be it in person or virtual, and take it out.
