Elections Canada may be exposing voters to ID theft: privacy commissioner

Elections Canada may be exposing voters to ID theft: privacy commissioner:
Canadian voters are at risk of identity theft because of voters lists that go missing and are circulated widely among political parties, says Canada's privacy commissioner.

'The personal information of Canadian voters is not adequately protected,' commissioner Jennifer Stoddart said Thursday in a statement after presenting a report to Parliament highlighting the issue. 'We're concerned that voters' personal information could fall into the wrong hands and be used for illegal activities.'"
