While some processes could be computerized under the proposed changes, all voters would continue using paper ballots. yxe

The report notes that having a list would help reduce wait times on election day, as not all voters would have to register before casting a ballot. While there is a risk inaccurate data could appear in the list, the report suggests the problem would be solved by letting people register or update their information at the polls.

While mail-out voter cards are a familiar feature of provincial and federal elections, the report recommends against adopting these for municipal elections, noting it would cost around $200,000. The report notes that nothing contained in the proposed changes would enable electronic voting; elections would still use the paper ballots and electronic tabulating machines that have been the norm since 1997.
