I changed the title, as the original was misleading and clickbaity: "Elections Canada: 205,000 mail-in ballots were not counted".<p>The original reporting this is based on is by Blacklock’s Reporter [1] which looks like a better source, but unfortunately it's behind a login/paywall.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.blacklocks.ca/205000-ballots-not-counted/" rel="nofollow">https://www.blacklocks.ca/205000-ballots-not-counted/</a><p>---<p>PS: I found this older article [2] which covers the same issue. Apparently, if my understanding is correct, this number (~1/6 of the mail-in ballots) is much better than the 2019 election [3]. I guess that is something you could expect. Also, I'm not sure what a cancelled ballot means. Does it include the case when someone simply forgets to return the ballot?<p>[2]: <a href="https://www.mapleridgenews.com/news/1-in-6-mail-in-ballots-not-returned-in-time-to-be-counted/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mapleridgenews.com/news/1-in-6-mail-in-ballots-n...</a><p>[3]: Ibid. "Elections Canada says there is typically a gap between the number of mail-in ballots that go out and the number that come back every year. In the 2019 federal election, only 55 per cent of the domestic mail-in ballots and 61 per cent of international mail-in ballots were returned on time. The remainder were either returned late or not at all."
