Elections Canada is an independent, non-partisan agency that reports
directly to Parliament. We must be prepared at all times to conduct a federal
general election, by-election or referendum, administer the political financing
provisions of the Canada Elections Act, monitor compliance and enforce electoral
legislation. Elections Canada is also mandated to conduct voter education and
information programs, and provide support to the independent boundaries
commissions in charge of adjusting the boundaries of federal electoral districts
following each decennial census. Finally, Elections Canada may carry out studies
on alternative voting methods and, with the approval of Parliament, test
electronic voting processes for future use during electoral events.
