Several municipalities in Ontario are extending online and in-person voting times after problems with their online voting systems. The glitch affected several municipalities that use the Dominion Voting System, which struggled to process the traffic on its website, according to Kingston city officials. “The City of Kingston is one of a number of municipalities that have been affected by online voting issues. Internet voting became inaccessible at approximately 5:45 p.m. this evening,” read a public notice from the City of Kingston, which added that in-person voting times would be extended by an hour and 15 minutes to 9:15 p.m.
The City of Greater Sudbury said it would be extending online and in-person voting times to between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 23. The town of Collingwood said it would extend voting to between 8:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
