More irregularities on voter cards surface following CBC News report

CBC News continues to receive phone calls and e-mails from voters across the GTA reporting mistakes on their voter cards following a CBC report about people being told to vote at an address that does not exist.

Krista Darin said Thursday she became concerned after realizing last week that she hadn't received her card, so she visited Elections Canada's site.

"I was trying to see if I was registered and it told me I wasn't," she said in an interview. "So I finally called the number on the site and I was told I wasn't on the list. I thought that was odd because I've lived at the same address for the last nine years and I always vote."

Pauline Dalby is equally incredulous that her name isn't on the voters list.

"I have lived in Etobicoke-Lakeshore for the past 10 years and have voted in every federal, provincial and city election," Dalby told CBC in an email.

"I have not received a voter card for this election, and when I called Elections Canada I was told there was no trace of me on the electoral rolls."

Jerry Michaels claims he received a voting card informing him that he can cast his vote at the Toronto Archives on Spadina Road but said the Elections Canada website directs him to a Unitarian Church on St. Clair Avenue West.

Michaels said that when he called Elections Canada, he was told that the returning officer hadn't secured the lease for the church before the cards were mailed.

Stories have been surfacing across the country about thousands of Canadians receiving cards in the mail that have incorrect information or direct them to cast their ballot at the wrong location.

On Wednesday, Elections Canada said it would send 5,600 corrected voter information cards to residents in the Toronto-St. Paul's riding after the first batch directed them to a non-existent address to cast their votes.

The agency confirmed yesterday that voter information cards sent to 436 individuals in southeast Calgary listed an incorrect polling station. And one alarming case, a non-Canadian citizen living in Nova Scotia was registered to vote even though she does not have the legal right to do so.

Elections Canada says when printing 26 million voter cards, there are bound to be thousands of mistakes and it's working to correct them
