Elections Canada is the independent, non-partisan agency responsible for administering federal elections and referendums. Headed by the Chief Electoral Officer who reports directly to Parliament rather than the government, Elections Canada ensures electoral integrity without political interference. Its responsibilities include maintaining the National Register of Electors, defining electoral district boundaries, registering political parties and candidates, enforcing spending limits and disclosure rules, providing accessible voting, and educating Canadians about the electoral process. Elections Canada trains and deploys hundreds of thousands of election workers across the country for each election. The agency operates under the Canada Elections Act and produces detailed reports on electoral participation and administration. Provincial elections are run by separate provincial electoral agencies, and municipal elections by municipal clerks or election officials.
