Elections Canada is investigating an incident in Terrebonne, Que. involving a single mail-in ballot that was not counted due to a printed error in the return address. The postal code on the elector’s envelope was incorrect, leading to at least one vote for the Bloc Québécois being disregarded. Following a judicial recount, the Liberal MP was declared the winner by just one vote, putting the party two seats away from a majority government.
