Ottawa-area voters urged to check polling place after some given false information: Elections Ontario

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.”

She says they can also contact their returning office directly.
