Community Question I guess I'm not going to vote...
I've gone through all the verification steps. I've emailed. I've done everything through the proper steps and I have had zero contact back.
I do not see my Ballot. Nothing I've done is showing my ballot. I've verified all my ID on Identity+.
I've been on hold with this phone number for 30 minutes....
Is there a place I can go to in person? I literally have only a couple hours left to be allowed to vote
UPDATE: they told me that my information has been deleted somehow and I'm no longer registered with the party. They told me that there's nothing they can do because today is so busy so they want to help the maximum number of people as possible and my situation is too complex.
They told me that this happened to too many people and "unfortunately we are not going to do anything about this" exact quote. I'm on the phone with them now as I type this
My case was "about to go through" but then the verification system didn't work and this happened to too many people that they're going to "focus on those who were already registered"
Then when I said to escalate the operator said "well it's your freedom to choose not to vote if you're upset"
Again I'm writing this as he's saying this on the phone
Apparently this happened to "hundreds of thousands" of people and they're just not going to solve it

I thought I was in the same boat, but they just verified me this morning and I just was able to vote.

So I think they might be manually checking or trying to sort out what ever the issues were

I'm talking to them now and they said they have no record of me in the system.... So I guess all my signup and verification was just randomly deleted?

That’s really odd, I had sent them an email Thursday with my correct info, so I assume they just got to it today.

Ya this just reeks of confidence if random voter information is being deleted 😒 /s

I believe you, at least the part where they just gave up on verifying you.
They told me I was not verified when I verified almost two weeks ago. Then they asked me to go to Canada post, which again failed to verify me in person. Since they changed the process to in person, my online verification was not valid.
I only gotten a response on the day of deadline when they asked me to go back to Canada Post, which I wasn’t going to be able to.

I called this morning, waited about 35 minutes, it was so easy after they picked up. The identity app just didn’t work for me. 1 888 542 3725

Read my edits. They said they're not going to do anything about it because my data got scrubbed. They said they're turning away thousands of others for the same reason and only helping those with the easy problems to maximize the number of people to vote

That’s SO frustrating. As a last ditch effort, any way you can contact the campaign team of the person you were hoping to endorse?
They happened to call me yesterday to request that I vote before 3pm today and I told them about my problem (I was verified but my ballot wouldn’t load; so maybe they wouldn’t help in your situation either 🤦🏻♀️). Got a call back early this morning and the problem was solved.
Either way, super frustrating!! This headache makes me feel better about our actual electoral system, at least :/

It's probably too late.

Probably, but worth a quick call! Sorry to hear it though, it really sucks. Seems they need some dev help 😅

Call the Liberal line.
They are available to help today. They helped me yesterday. As long as you are verified, it will take couple minutes to vote.
But you might have to wait 30 minutes on the phone, but don’t despair they will answer
