| Description | Australian Clayton Treloar has only lived in Canada for six months, but somehow the Australian's name has wound up on the official electoral list -- and as a result he could conceivably cast a ballot in the next federal election.
Treloar received a voter information card in the mail last week like millions of others across the country.
His name is stamped on the card in bold, capital letters along with the words: "If your name and address appear on this card, you are eligible to vote."
But Treloar, a permanent resident who moved to Canada in January as a landed immigrant and only became a permanent resident in March, can't figure out how his name ended up on the official electoral list.
Only Canadian citizens are eligible to cast a ballot. |
