CodieneC'The boundaries are not decided by political leaders or their parties. They do have input, as does any Canadian who wants to comment on proposed changes. But the independent panel makes the decision. It's designed to be non-partisan and not connected to the election cycle, so it's hard to manipulate it in favour of the governing party.' <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/voting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#voting</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/poilievre-election-loss-fact-check-1.7531263" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cbc.ca/news/poilievre-election-loss-fact-check-1.7531263</a>

FlipboardArizona’s Elections Procedures Manual states that supervisors have no discretion when certifying results — or at least, that’s how it’s always been interpreted. <a href="https://mastodon.tucsonsentinel.com/@TucsonSentinel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TucsonSentinel</a> reports on a court ruling that threw out that section of the manual, and that may now shake up pending criminal charges for conspiracy against an election supervisor who delayed certification of Cochise County’s 2022 midterm results. “Ambiguity in election certification laws is a problem in several swing states across the country,” writes Jen Fifield. <a href="https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/042925_az_election_certification/are-local-officials-duty-bound-certify-elections-arizona-ruling-creates-new-doubt/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/042925_az_election_certification/are-local-officials-duty-bound-certify-elections-arizona-ruling-creates-new-doubt/</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arizona</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Elections</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Law</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ElectionSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectionSecurity</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Voting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Voting</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a>

FlipboardAustralia voted last week for a Labor majority — and when we say “Australia voted,” we mean that. Before the election, <a href="https://journa.host/@taniel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@taniel</a> of <a href="https://journa.host/@bolts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bolts</a> talked to politics professor Judith Brett about the country’s compulsory voting law — its history, how it’s evolved, and whether it leads to better engagement as well as turnout. “Look, the fines that one pays are pretty minimal; you get a letter, and you’ve got to give a reason why you didn’t vote,” says Brett. “I don’t think the fine is the reason people vote. I think they vote because everybody votes. It’s the political culture around voting … What we know from research is, if you don’t have compulsory voting, the people least likely to vote are poorer people, and people from new migrant groups, and often the young. I think it means that there’s more of an egalitarian pressure on our politicians, and I think we end up with more egalitarian policies.” <a href="https://boltsmag.org/compulsory-voting-australia-election/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://boltsmag.org/compulsory-voting-australia-election/</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/AustraliaElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustraliaElection</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Voting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Voting</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Elections</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Law</a>
