Permanent Temporary Staff Elections Staff 4 II Introduction Elections Manitoba’s activities in 2012 focused on evaluation and assessment of election projects and processes, as well as the strategic planning exercise undertaken in preparation for the next general election in 2015.

In conducting its evaluation, Elections Manitoba sought participation from both internal and external stakeholders. Internally, performance assessments were prepared by all departments with input from election staff and returning officers. External stakeholders, including the general public, field workers and political participants, were surveyed, and these findings were incorporated into the departmental assessments.

The strategic planning exercise moved through review of the election evaluation, into review of Elections Manitoba’s mission, mandate and core values, through to the statement of strategic focus areas and elaboration of a four-year plan. The resulting strategic plan is the working document from which all project planning and program development flows for the 2015 General Election.

Another major focus of activity in 2012 was the campaign finance review of 2011 general election returns. A total of 221 candidate and party returns were filed and reviewed in 2012. Elections Manitoba provided ongoing compliance assistance to candidates, official agents and auditors throughout the filing process.

Finally, work began on implementation of Bill 33, which encompassed a plain language rewrite of The Elections Finances Act—now The Election Financing Act—and a study to examine the creation and maintenance of a permanent voters list for Manitoba.

At the close of the year, significant groundwork was laid for project development to begin in 2013.

2012 ANNUAL REPORT 5

III Annual activities A. Corporate

i. Post-election evaluation The 2011 General Election was evaluated from both an internal and an external perspective, involving consultation with several stakeholders. We conducted surveys of the general population, as well as a more highly selected cross-section of voters and non-voters (The Survey of Voters and Non-Voters is published on the Elections Manitoba website). We assessed the accuracy, currency and completeness of the voters list, and surveyed the experience of voting officials. We consulted with the registered parties through the advisory committees. We also carried out a needs assessment of candidates, official agents, auditors and registered parties.

Internally, we carried out performance assessments of each department, drawing on debriefing exercises with returning officers and election staff. In addition, we conducted internal audits of the voters list, voting books, the nomination process, the inquiry management process, and election spending.

ii. Strategic Planning All permanent staff participated in our strategic planning process. Using our post-election evaluation as a starting point, we reviewed our vision, mission, and core values, and identified our strategic focus areas for 2015. We also developed a four-year plan, incorporating both annual and election-related activities, and began to develop project plans and performance measures. The strategic focus areas, which guide all our activities, are as follows:

• Amendments – Implementing legislative requirements • Accessibility – Maintaining strong accessibility of the electoral process to all eligible voters • Staff Development – Continuing to develop staff to provide optimal service • Awareness – Providing election information to all voters • Assistance – Providing assistance to political participants and other stakeholders • Service – Enhancing service through effective use of technology and internal capabilities

Elections Manitoba’s strategic plan for 2012-2015 can be viewed on our website.

B. Activities related to The Elections Act

i. Returning Officer Advisory Group In November, Elections Manitoba convened a group of returning officers and assistant returning officers from the 2011 general election to provide input in the operational planning for the 2015 general election. The Advisory Group will meet with the operations team two to three times a year, drawing on their field experience to help shape our projects with the end user in mind. Some of the projects to be reviewed with the Advisory Group include returning officer and assistant returning officer recruitment, training of field workers, mapping, building the voters list, returning office structure, and IT systems used for tracking these processes.

2012 ANNUAL REPORT 7 ii. Delivering Public Information and Education Programming In support of its ongoing public information and education mandate, Elections Manitoba continued to offer the Your Power to Choose curriculum-based election education program in 2012. The key component of Your Power to Choose is the delivery of in-class facilitated workshops that teach students about citizenship and democracy while developing the habit of participation.

Here is a snapshot of the education program for 2012: • 88 workshops delivered in total, including public schools, independent schools, First Nations schools, adult learning centres and community groups • 1,949 students/learners participated • 32 electoral divisions reached

In addition to delivering workshops in schools throughout the province, our office engaged with Manitoba voters and future voters through participation in a variety of events, including: • Special Area Groups for Educators (SAGE) conference • Adult Secondary Education Council (ASEC) • Teachers’ Institute on Parliamentary Democracy • Red River Heritage Fair

Also in 2012, Elections Manitoba collaborated with the Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council (DOTC) on a community-based election engagement project. DOTC provides programs and services to support its six member First Nations, primarily in the areas of education, employment and economic development. Elections Manitoba presented a day of election education workshops at the high school on Sandy Bay First Nation, based on our education program, Your Power to Choose.

Building on a shared goal of engaging and informing citizens on the value of electoral participation, plans are now underway to expand the program to reach other DOTC members at the community and school level.

iii. Working with Advisory Committees Elections Manitoba consults with representatives from all political parties on an annual basis with respect to The Elections Act (EA) and The Elections Finances Act (EFA). These advisory committees are legislated under each act. For a report on The Elections Finances Act Advisory Committee, see page 14.

8 The Elections Act Advisory Committee This advisory committee met on February 22 and September 19. At the February meeting, the discussion focused on reviewing the conduct of the 40th General Election. Specific items included: • As new boundaries came into effect for the last election, political parties were given the opportunity to review and provide feedback on the new electoral division maps, voting places and voting keys. The process for this review was discussed. • The development of candidate information packages was a new initiative for 2011 and committee members expressed satisfaction with the content of the packages. • Challenges associated with the 75-day calendar and the timing of enumeration during the summer were discussed. • Strategies and new initiatives for preparation of the voters list were reviewed, including handling moves, outreach to specific groups such as university students, people with disabilities, cottage owners, persons in shelters, and high school students. • There was a shorter nomination period in 2011 than in previous elections and returning officers were trained to give priority to nomination papers in this condensed time frame. Committee members noted that the shorter nomination period provided challenges, but indicated that returning office staff provided satisfactory support. • Election day and advance voting activity were discussed with specific focus on improving service in advance voting, concerns and questions regarding ID requirements for voting, and the effect of the new boundaries. • There was also consensus on identifying ways to improve service to seniors through enhanced accessibility. A new recommendation to facilitate this, “Institutional Voting Stations,” is introduced on page 32.

Topics discussed at the September meeting included: • Recommendations being considered for the 2011 annual report and recommendations carried forward from previous annual reports. These are detailed beginning on page 31. • A by-election was held in Fort Whyte on September 4, 2012, and conduct of this by-election was discussed. • Bill 33 required the Chief Electoral Officer to conduct a study, in consultation with the Advisory Committee, on whether a permanent voters list should be adopted for Manitoba. An outline for the study was circulated at the meeting and feedback was sought. • Policies and procedures currently followed by parties to ensure the security of the voters list were discussed. • Legislation requires prospective candidates to collect names, signatures and addresses of 100 voters in the electoral division in which they are running. The number of signatures required and the documentation required to verify the information collected was discussed. A new recommendation arising from this discussion, “Nomination Papers,” is introduced on page 31.

2012 ANNUAL REPORT 9 iv. Address Database In 2012, considerable attention was devoted to improving the address database required under The Elections Act. A number of shortcomings to the database had been identified in conducting the enumeration for the 2011 General Election, most notably with apartment unit numbers, inconsistency in addressing standards, and challenges with geocoding rural addresses. As a result, some addresses were not assigned to a voting area and, in some cases, to an electoral division.

To respond to these issues, address data for each electoral division was reviewed, missing addresses were added and duplicates eliminated, and voting areas were assigned where required. In an effort to improve the quality of the data on an ongoing basis, Elections Manitoba began a consultation process with other agencies that maintain listings of addresses in the province. As we move forward to the next election, we will put systems and processes in place to ensure an improved level of accuracy, currency and consistency in the address database.

C. Activities related to The Elections Finances Act

Processing annual financial returns To demonstrate compliance and maintain transparency with the public, registered parties and constituency associations are required to disclose their annual financial activities. Candidates must also report the status of campaign deficits and loan balances annually.

D. Developing staff and sharing best practices

There were several opportunities in 2012 for Elections Manitoba to participate in meetings and forums allowing for the exchange of information and ideas related to democracy and the electoral process.

• Elections Manitoba representatives attended the annual Conference of Canadian Election Officials held in July, in Halifax. Agenda items included citizen engagement, the state of e-voting, and a strategy for youth engagement. • Staff from Elections Manitoba attended the Council on Governmental Ethics Laws (COGEL) in Columbus, Ohio in December. Sessions included international perspectives on democratic processes, the state of internet voting in Canada and the United States, e-learning tools for training, dealing with complaints and investigations, and strategies for working with traditional and new media. • In November, Elections Manitoba was invited to Washington to attend the U.S. Election Program hosted by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES). Participants attended plenary sessions on the U.S. electoral system, technology in out- of-country voting, accessibility for voters with disabilities, and political participation among women. On election day, participants toured polling sites and observed the voting process. • Other inter-jurisdictional events attended by Elections Manitoba staff included meetings of the National Register of Electors, the recruitment working group and the e-voting working group, and the Elections Alberta visitors program held in Edmonton during their 2012 provincial election.

E. Public Interest Disclosure

The Public Interest Disclosure Act, known as Whistleblower Protection, came into effect in April 2007. There have been no disclosures within Elections Manitoba, although the organization remains fully aware of the Act and is ready to ensure its regulations are met should an employee come forward with a concern.

The Act gives employees a clear process for disclosing concerns about significant and serious

2012 ANNUAL REPORT 15 matters (wrong doing) in the Manitoba public service, and strengthens protection from reprisal. The Act builds on protections already in place under other statutes, as well as collective bargaining rights, policies, practices and processes in the Manitoba public service.

Wrongdoing under the Act may be: contravention of federal or provincial legislation; an act or omission that endangers public safety, public health or the environment; gross mismanagement; or, knowingly directing or counseling a person to commit a wrongdoing. The Act is not intended to deal with routine operational or administrative matters.

The following is a summary of disclosures received by Elections Manitoba for fiscal year 2012 – 2013:

Information Required Annually (per Section 18 of The Act) Fiscal Year 2012– 2013 The number of disclosures received, and the number acted on and not acted on. NIL Subsection 18(2)(a) The number of investigations commenced as a result of a disclosure. NIL Subsection 18(2)(b) In the case of an investigation that results in a finding of wrongdoing, a description NIL of the wrongdoing and any recommendations or corrective actions taken in relation to the wrongdoing, or the reasons why no corrective action was taken. Subsection 18(2)(c)

F. Government Advertising

Sections 56(1) and 56(1.1) of The Elections Finances Act regulates the kind of information a government department or Crown agency can publish or advertise leading up to and during elections and by-elections.

Any person who believes that a department or Crown agency has violated Section 56(1) or 56(1.1) may file a complaint with the Commissioner of Elections.

Section 56(3) of The Elections Finances Act requires that, if the Commissioner of Elections finds that a complaint is justified, the Commissioner must advise the Chief Electoral Officer of the particulars of the violation. The particulars are then to be published in the Annual Report.

At the time of writing the 2012 annual report, no matters were provided by Commissioner Bill Bowles.

16 IV Election Activities A. Returns processing for the 40th General Election

Candidates and registered parties must disclose their financial activity during an election to the Chief Electoral Officer by filing an election return. Returns filed by the candidates must include the following:

• statement of income, transfers, and expenses • balance sheet outlining assets and liabilities • all contributions from one source that total $250 or more

Registered parties file similar returns, excluding the balance sheet outlining assets and liabilities.

The filing deadline for candidates and registered parties for the 40th General Election was February 6, 2012, four months after election day. Extensions may be granted if requested before the deadline.

Upon review by Elections Manitoba, an amendment to a return may be required and an adjustment would be made to the original return. In such cases, both the original and amended returns are published on the Elections Manitoba website. They may also be viewed in person at Elections Manitoba’s office.

In total for the 2011 General Election, 216 candidate returns and five party returns were filed. Of the candidate returns, 148 were received by the deadline and another 67 extensions were granted. One late filing fee was assessed. There were 124 reimbursements issued to candidates and two to parties, for a total of $2,679,259.23.

1 Contributions include money received and the value of non-monetary contributions. 2 Only two registered parties qualified for reimbursement. The amount reimbursed was 50% of actual election expenses (total election expenses less non-monetary election expenses).

Summaries of candidates’ income, expenses, reimbursements and spending limits for the 2011 General Election can be found in the Appendix.

Reimbursements The Elections Finances Act allows qualifying candidates and registered parties to be reimbursed for 50 per cent of eligible election expenses. Under the amendments introduced in 2006, the Act also allows for reimbursement of 100 per cent of reasonable child care and disability expenses. The Elections Finances Act defines reasonable expenses as those that are over and above the expenses normally incurred by the candidate.

The candidate must receive a minimum 10 per cent of valid votes in the electoral division to receive a 50 per cent reimbursement of the actual election expenses, not including non-monetary contributions. In certain circumstances, depending on the surplus status of a candidate’s campaign, some or all of the candidate’s reimbursement is paid to the endorsing registered party.

Registered parties qualify for reimbursement if their endorsed candidates, in total, receive a minimum of 10 per cent of the valid votes cast in the election.

An auditor is paid a subsidy of up to $1,500 for a candidate’s election return and a maximum of $30,000 for registered party statements.

18 The Elections Finances Act allows for one half of an election expense reimbursement, otherwise payable to a candidate’s campaign or to a registered party, to be paid as an advance within 15 days of filing a completed financial return. Advances were paid within 15 days as required for those returns that met the requirements of The Elections Finances Act.

B. Fort Whyte by-election

A by-election was conducted in the provincial electoral division of Fort Whyte as a result of a vacancy in the Legislative Assembly. The Member for Fort Whyte, the Honourable Hugh McFadyen, resigned his seat on July 31, 2012.

Pursuant to Order in Council number 331/2012, the Deputy Chief Electoral Officer issued the writ of election to the Fort Whyte returning officer on August 3, 2012. Nominations closed on August 20, 2012 and the by-election took place on September 4, 2012.

i. Operational Conduct The boundaries of the electoral division were the same as in the 2011 provincial general election. Pursuant to section 73 (1) of The Elections Act, the Deputy CEO was directed to use the final list for Fort Whyte from the 2011 provincial general election as the preliminary list for the by-election. This was initiated through Order in Council number 332/2012.

When an election is called less than one year after the call of the last election, use of the final voters list from the previous election may be ordered. This was the first time since the office of the CEO was established that an existing list was used. As a result, there was no enumeration period and revision took place from August 6 through 19. To inform those Fort Whyte voters already on the list about the upcoming by-election, voter enumeration cards were delivered prior to revision to the 14,532 voters on the preliminary list.

During revision, 983 names were added. An additional 45 were sworn on during advance and 232 on election day. An eligible voter must take the required oath and produce the required identification to swear on to the voters list. There were a total of 15,792 names on the final voters list for the Fort Whyte by-election.

During the by-election, advance voting was held from Saturday, August 25 to Saturday, September 1 at two locations, including the returning office. Those using advance voting in Fort Whyte increased to 1,579 ballots cast from 1,218 cast during the 2011 general election. This was an increase of 28% from the 2011 election. Of the total ballots cast, 24% were cast during the week of advance voting.

C. Leadership Contest

The Elections Finances Act requires public disclosure of leadership contestants’ finances, to enhance the fairness and transparency of the process registered parties use to choose their leaders.

The Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba announced a leadership contest on November 26, 2011, following the resignation of the Honourable Hugh McFadyen as leader of the party and MLA for Fort Whyte. Brian Pallister was acclaimed leader on July 28, 2012. The filing deadline for this contest was October 29, 2012. An extension was requested and granted. Accordingly, Mr. Pallister’s return was filed on December 14, 2012.

26 V Implementing Legislative Changes Bill 33, The Election Financing Act and Elections Amendment Act, received royal assent on June 14, 2012. The bill introduced significant changes to The Election Financing Act (formerly The Elections Finances Act). There were three components to the new legislation:

1. The EFA was re-written in plain language to make it more accessible to the reader. Highlights of the re-write include: • Simpler language and sentence structure • The Act is divided into parts, each corresponding to a particular topic, with an overview of each topic • Definitions are now at the end instead of the beginning • Boxed information directs readers to related sections of the Act • Fewer cross-references make the Act easier to understand

2. The annual allowance provision of the EFA was replaced with a new provision calling for the appoint- ment of a commissioner to determine the annual allowance paid to registered parties. This section of the EFA came into force on June 14, 2012, the day the Bill received royal assent. The regulations developed by the commissioner come into force retroactively on January 1, 2012 and will be in ef- fect until January 1 of the year following the next general election.

3. Provisions governing third parties during an election period were also introduced in Bill 33. Under the legislation, a third party must not spend more than $5,000 on election communications and must identify itself in those communications. Once a third party spends $500 on election communi- cation, it must register with Elections Manitoba and appoint a financial agent. Registration may take place only after an election has been called. A third party that has incurred election communication expenses of $500 or more must file an election communication report with the CEO. Elections Mani- toba developed a series of election communication guidelines to assist third parties in complying with the new legislation.

To implement these changes, Elections Manitoba began updating existing EFA forms and guides, pre- paring new forms and guides for third party legislation, updating the corporate website, and providing information to stakeholders. Compliance assistance will be provided on an ongoing basis.

Also contained within the legislation were two amendments to The Elections Act. The first required the Chief Electoral Officer to examine whether a permanent voters list should be established for Mani- toba. Work on this report was begun in 2012, including consultation with the Advisory Committee and research of best practices from other jurisdictions. Bill 33 calls for the report to be presented to the Speaker by June 13, 2013. The second amendment to The Elections Act calls for the set date election to be postponed to April of the following year if it will overlap with a federal election.

2012 ANNUAL REPORT 27 28 VI LOOKING FORWARD In 2013, Elections Manitoba will complete the implementation of legislative changes arising from Bill 33. All existing forms and guides will be updated and translated, and the revised materials will be made available on the website. Third party forms and guides will be developed and the regulations for annual allowance will be put into effect. The Permanent Voters List study will also be completed and submitted to the Speaker to be tabled in the House.

Another key area of activity in 2013 will be the beginning of a recruitment campaign to fill vacant Returning Officer and Assistant Returning Officer positions for the 2015 General Election.

Development of the new website will also be completed in 2013, incorporating both election- specific content and general information into one site. The new website uses a responsive design, allowing it to work effectively on both desktop and mobile devices. A responsive website caters to any possible screen resolution, providing a high quality browsing experience, regardless of what device is being used.

Elections Manitoba will also undertake the development of an overarching Enterprise Information Security Policy. The policy will address protection of physical and electronic information, controls to protect against unauthorized disclosure of information and business continuity.
