Pierre Poilievre is competing for the Battle River-Crowfoot seat in a byelection following an unexpected loss in April. He was previously expected to become prime minister. Without a seat, his ability to lead effectively against the Liberal government is hindered. The byelection has been influenced by a protest for electoral reform, leading to an unusual increase in candidates. Elections Canada will introduce a new voting method that allows voters to write names directly on blank ballots, counting misspellings.
Canada's rural Alberta district will hold a byelection on Monday where Pierre Poilievre seeks to win the Battle River-Crowfoot seat after losing in April's federal election.
Despite Pierre Poilievre's loss in April, the Conservatives won enough seats to become the largest official opposition in Canadian history, though he remains without a parliamentary seat.
The byelection has garnered attention following a protest movement advocating for electoral reform, complicating the typical voting process with a record number of candidates.
Elections Canada will implement a new voting method requiring voters to fill out blank ballots with their preferred candidates' names, allowing for misspellings during the counting process.
