ECAC is accountability theatre, and at least one Councillor wants to fix the process of Council appointing its own election overseers.
The Hamilton Election Compliance Audit Committee meet to hear two complaints about the election returns of Councillors Jason Farr and Terry Whitehead.
Following the meeting, they quickly dismissed the complaints.
We need to de-politicize the appointment of Hamilton’s Elections Compliance Audit Committee to create public confidence in the process of municipal electoral oversight.
Our current system of municipal voting is broken, Ontario’s municipal elections need an independent organization to operate and oversee them.
