"Staff have worked diligently to plan a fair, accessible, and secure election, and are committed to improving the voter experience for the 2026 Vancouver election.”
Well then the staff have failed. Own up to your failure to make the election actually accessible and listen to the community!
"It’s very concerning to see the continued disregard for accessibility. Change is urgently due." - @stephanieformayor.bsky.social

“At the same time this is a black and white question of voter suppression. If the government does not create the conditions for people - all people - to cast a secret ballot then the government is failing at democracy not just accessibility.”

Here's a story about how In the past the City of Vancouver did almost nothing and unsurprisingly almost no one came. They are now using that as an excuse to lower the already paltry access to a ballot marking device for disabled people in this election.

The device costs $1500 but in an election where the City is spending double what it spent last election (in an effort to increase the low voter turnout), it says the expense of providing them at polling stations would be too great.
