   'Fair Elections' Act delays ex-Nova Scotia party leader from casting vote   
      
   Vince MacLean says he didn't have acceptable ID required under new rules   
      
      
   A former leader of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party was prevented, for several   
   days, from casting his ballot in the upcoming federal election because he   
   didn't have the required identification under the new Fair Elections Act.   
      
   Vince MacLean lives in Northside East Bay, about a 20-minute drive from   
   Sydney, and went to the local returning office last week to vote.   
   People can vote at Elections Canada offices until Oct. 13.   
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
      
   In 2008, the government started requiring all voters -- including those on the   
   list of registered voters -- to present government-issued photo ID with an   
   address before casting a ballot.   
      
   "I went down to the returning office to vote last week with my driver's   
   licence and a wallet full of ID," said MacLean.   
      
   "Unfortunately I could not vote because none of them had my civic address on   
   it, even though everyone there knew I lived in Northside East Bay."   
      
   MacLean lives in a rural area and his mail is delivered to a post office   
   box.   Earlier on Friday, he said he went through his correspondence to try to   
   find a piece with his civic address, but it was all addressed to his post   
   office box.   
      
   By Friday afternoon, MacLean found a power bill with his street address on it   
   and was able to cast his ballot.   
      
   The Fair Elections Act gives voters the option to take an oath, if their ID   
   does not have their current address.   
      
   In that case, the voter must present two pieces of ID, and have someone who   
   knows that person and attest to his or her address.  That person must also   
   show proof of identity and address, and be registered in the same polling   
   division.   
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
      
   Elections Canada said voters can use identification with a P.O. box, rural   
   route or general delivery as their address, as long as that address has   
   already been registered with Elections Canada.   
      
   The Elections Canada website explains how to update registration information.

   Election day is Oct. 19.  (a Monday)
