Ottawa – The Liberal Party of Canada has asked Elections Canada to investigate why Conservative printed pieces in at least four ridings across the province – targeted to specific neighbourhoods in those ridings – are giving incorrect information with respect to polling stations.

Liberal National Campaign Director Karl Littler, in a letter to Jean-Pierre Kingsley, the nation's chief electoral officer, said:

"Whether through error or disinformation, we are concerned about the erroneous information being provided and its potential to frustrate the democratic process."

Mr. Littler asks Mr. Kingsley for assistance:

"We ask that you intercede with the Conservative National Campaign to address this situation."

The four ridings involved – Simcoe North, Barrie, Burlington, and Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale – have all been targeted by the Conservative Party publicly as ridings they intend to win.

The Liberal Party is asking voters to ensure they check with Elections Canada to determine the location of their polling station for Monday.
