What does Elections Canada do once an election has been called?

  1. Publishes election results

  2. Mails a voter information card to each elector

  3. Announces the candidates

  4. Organizes debates

The correct answer is: Mails a voter information card to each elector

After an election has been called, Elections Canada does not immediately publish the results (A), as the actual voting has yet to take place. Elections Canada also does not immediately announce the candidates (C) as they must first go through a nomination process. While organizing debates (D) is an important aspect of the election process, it is not the responsibility of Elections Canada. The first step taken by Elections Canada is to mail a voter information card to each elector, providing them with information on where and when to vote, making option B the correct answer.
