| | + | In 2018 a supposed internet connection “glitch” shut down Dominion systems in [[Ontario]] for 90 minutes during voting. ''Toronto City News''reported: |
| | + | {{quotebox-float|"Many voters in Ontario will continue to cast ballots Tuesday after technical difficulties forced at least a dozen municipalities to extend voting in local elections. |
| | + | |
| | + | Dominion Voting Systems, a company that provides tabulation systems in Canada and the U.S., said in a statement that 51 municipalities were impacted by a glitch that stalled online voting for at least 90 minutes. |
| | + | |
| | + | While many impacted communities kept polls open for one or two extra hours, several opted to declare emergencies under the Municipal Elections Act and extend voting for a full day. |
| | + | |
| | + | Some of those municipalities include Pembroke, Waterloo, Prince Edward County, Greater Sudbury, and several communities in the Muskoka region. |
| | + | |
| | + | The rest of Ontario’s 417 municipal races went off without technical trouble, but there was no lack of drama. |
| | + | |
| | + | Dominion attributed Monday’s election-night delays to “slow traffic” it blamed on an unnamed Toronto “internet co-location provider” for placing a limit on incoming voting traffic. Dominion said the issue was eventually resolved, but many voters still complained of problems."<ref>https://toronto.citynews.ca/2018/10/22/online-voting-systems-delaying-election-results-across-ontario/</ref>}} |
