Possible Canadian 2020 election

[robkelk]

Did some checking on the Elections Canada website, and discovered the two-day voting period would require an amendment to the Elections Act. If the vote on the Speech from the Throne fails, that won't happen.

But they can use administrative authority to switch to single-use pencils... and to increase the capacity of the existing vote-by-mail system.

EDIT: And there's the nuclear option:

In an extreme and unexpected case, based on the advice of public health experts, the Chief Electoral Officer could certify that it has become impracticable for Elections Canada to administer the election in one or several electoral districts and recommend to the governor-in-council that the election writ be withdrawn. This has never been done in Elections Canada's history.
