Elections Nova Scotia – e-Ballot is safe secure in-person electronic voting used at early voting locations (community and advance polls) and returning offices. e-Ballot allows voters to select the candidate of their choice on a secure tablet when they go to vote.
e-Ballot is not internet voting. Both are electronic forms of voting, but e-Ballot takes place in-person at a voting location on a secure tablet while internet voting facilitates remote voting using the internet. Internet voting is not available in this provincial general election.
e-Ballot allows fast and secure counting of early votes when the polls close on election night. This means the results of the provincial general election will be returned quickly and efficiently.
Traditional paper ballots will be used at election day voting locations. e-Ballot will be available at returning offices on election day. On election day, voters can vote at their assigned voting location using paper ballot or at the returning office in their electoral district using e-Ballot.
