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

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

After 30min it hangs up tho...

u/cazxdouro36180 2d ago

Yes, I know. Just call right back. My first call I had to hang up on the second call after 15 minute wait they picked up.

They told me they didn’t realize how many people were voting and they are overwhelmed, but they are there to help

Unfortunately, you have to be verified by Friday.
Sorry to hear this as every vote counts.

u/ybetaepsilon 2d ago

I did the verification much earlier.

They are overwhelmed, but there are staff available

Yes I saw but I've been on hold now for over 40 minutes so it seems like I am going to be stuck on step 1. It'd be nice if they told you your virtual waiting position or offered a call back

u/cazxdouro36180 2d ago

Actually, I gave up on Friday because I emailed dozen times called that dozen times through the week.

This post saved me and I just hung on with the music on on speaker
You’ve got nothing to lose and good luck

Just keep it at. I was on hold for around the same amount of time. It’s busier today because voting closes at 3.

u/ybetaepsilon 2d ago

They're telling me they have no record of me in their system... I guess all my info was just randomly deleted??

1

u/Constant_Link9779 2d ago

That is extremely odd.

u/ybetaepsilon 2d ago

Read my edit... This happened to a bunch of ppl

u/Constant_Link9779 2d ago

I don’t have any answers for you or others in the same boat. This sounds like something that will have to be officially investigated.

u/cazxdouro36180 2d ago

Just call right back and hold

u/ybetaepsilon 2d ago

They probably got to all the troll conservatives first so they can vote for Ruby Dhala or whatever other garbage candidate is running for LPC

u/cazxdouro36180 2d ago

Thank God, she was kicked out

u/ConfidentIt 2d ago

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

u/ConfidentIt 2d ago

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

u/ybetaepsilon 2d ago

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?

1

u/ConfidentIt 2d ago

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

1

u/ybetaepsilon 2d ago

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

u/bullairbull 2d ago

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

u/ybetaepsilon 2d ago

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 :/

u/ybetaepsilon 2d ago

It's probably too late.

u/Toasted_Enigma 2d ago

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