‘This is unacceptable’: Polling station problems prompt calls for investigation – CTV News
April 30, 2025
Polling hours for voters to cast ballots in Quebec’s Nunavik region during Monday’s federal election were inconsistent across many communities and in some cases, not open at all, CTV News has learned.
Tiivi Tulaugak was keen to vote in his first federal election. But his excitement was quickly dashed when he went to the polling station in his northern Quebec community of Ivujivik, only to find it was closed.
“I was frustrated. I was sad,” he told CTV News. “Everybody was unable to vote in Ivujivik.”
Tulaugak, who is still in high school, said he went to the polling station on the morning of Election Day on April 28. He said there seemed to be a lot of confusion when he arrived.
