加拿大选举确认,选民可以使用笔或铅笔在选票上打上记号,排除关于铅笔可能导致选票被玷污或被抹去的虚假说法。 Elections Canada has confirmed that voters can use either a pen or a pencil to mark their ballots, dispelling false claims that pencils could lead to smudged or erased votes. 投票工人必须依法提供黑铅笔,但笔或其他写作工具也可接受。 Poll workers must provide black-lead pencils by law, but pens or other writing tools are also acceptable. 选票只有在选举日由受薪工作人员在包括候选人代表在内的证人面前进行清点时才会开封。 Ballots are only unsealed for counting on election day by paid workers in front of witnesses, including candidates' representatives.
