New But note that Canadian ballots are simpler
You choose your representative in the House of Commons. That's it.

In my last vote I had literally dozens of choices to make. This makes accidental stray marks far easier to make.

Cheers,
Ben

New Hmmm... potential solution to that might be
having a separate ballot for each election?

The Conservative party (I still can't bring myself to call them Tories) floated the idea of fixed election dates. I think it's insane myself, because you get just that sort of wack job that you guys get to deal with. Also, having to drop the election writ really restricts the amount of time a politician has to and can spend campaigning. This results in less money being required... and this is a good thing.
