Prohibition – premature transmission of results
329. No person shall transmit the result or purported result of the vote in an electoral district to the public in another electoral district before the close of all of the polling stations in that other electoral district.
In order to not run afoul of Elections Canada rules on results blackouts commenting will be fully moderated between now and the close of all polls.
In an electronic age of instant information the Elections Act prohibition on publishing election results is silly and archaic. Far better to not start counting votes until all polls are closed.
In any case, I’m sure there will be plenty of websites that will give you the results if you’re inclined to look for them.
