      No, we don’t use machines in Canada, nor is there a plan to introduce them.

      I had to double check myself, but seems the statement was correct. Elections Canada says that (see Voting Technology section in the link):

      Elections Canada does not use automatic ballot-counting machines to count ballots or tabulate results in Canadian federal elections.

      There are no plans to introduce Internet voting or ballot-counting technology for federal elections.

        I voted using a machine in the last provincial election in BC. I wouldn’t be so certain that there is no plan to introduce them federally.

          1: that’s provincial not federal.

          2: you still marked a paper ballot. The machine simply scanned it. The paper ballots are still available for hand counting.

          3: those counting machines aren’t internet connected.

      That’s great. That doesn’t stop them from interfering on the back side and hiding or destroying votes as they were caught multiple times in our country. All I can say is you NEED to take it extremely seriously before all of your youth is corrupted by Nazism.
