The spring federal election saw its share of misinformation and disinformation from those attempting to interfere in Canada’s democratic process, but Elections Canada says none of these efforts had any impact on the outcome of the 45th general election.
In its post-election report released Monday, Elections Canada stated, “Neither the agency nor the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force detected any evidence of foreign interference, criminal activity, cyber security incidents, or a coordinated misinformation campaign impacting the administration of the event.”
Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault said on Monday that, unlike the 2021 federal election, no incidents were detected involving foreign countries attempting to interfere with the administration of this spring’s election.
The agency noted it was able to maintain electoral integrity through proactive efforts to find and counter false and misleading information using its official communication channels.
Elections Canada estimated the cost of the most recent federal election at $570 million, slightly less than the $574.2 million it cost to hold the previous general election.
