For more information about electoral participation and persons with disabilities, check out Michael Prince's working paper for Elections Canada.

Election Ontario has also eliminated the barrier created by permanent address and identification requirements. Voters can now use a temporary form of identification called the "Certificate of Identity and Residence" which lists community facilities, like shelters or food banks, as residence. These certificates do require a signature of a facility representative (as well as the voter).

Ontario AIDS network has put together an excellent strategy for raising HIV/ AIDS issues during this election. This strategy includes a thorough backgrounder, suggested questions for candidates, and opportunities to raise the profile of issues during this campaign.
