1.  What if I sign up and change my mind?

If you no longer wish to participate, please email us with the name you registered with, from the same email address that you provided at registration. Anyone thinking of being dishonest please understand that is against the law (see below). You can email me to withdraw and avoid making an offence under the Elections Act.

2.  What impact will this have on the election?

The number of pairs depends on the number of swing riding voters who sign up.   Please see the impact made during the recent federal election.

3.  How does the pairing process work?

More to come.

4. Is this against the law?

Be legit, or you are breaking the law.

From Elections Canada: “…they warn voters to be careful if they decide to participate for a number of reasons. One is that they could potentially be misled by someone acting under multiple or false identities to trick them into voting for a particular candidate. If such an act were to occur, Hale says the person who misled them would, be guilty of an offence under the Elections Act.”

5.  What else can I do to get involved?

  • Use email, Twitter, your blog, Digg etc. to let people know there is a real option for making their vote count.
  • Invite Facebook friends to the Pair Vote event on Election Day
  • Add a link to votepair.ca in your email signature
  • Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, saying why you plan to pair vote. Include a link to the site. Send me a copy of your letter and I’ll post it on the site! Sample letters help others with writing also. Try contacting local TV station also.
  • Jump into the online discussion. Commenting on articles generates lots of attention and new registrants.
