The 2011 Canadian federal election voter suppression scandal (also known as the Robocall scandal, Robogate, or RoboCon) is a political scandal stemming from events during the 2011 Canadian federal election. It involved robocalls and real-person calls that were designed to result in voter suppression. Elections Canada and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) conducted investigations into the claims that calls were made to dissuade voters from casting ballots by falsely telling them that the location of their polling stations had changed. Further possible electoral law violations were alleged as the evidence unfolded. Under the Canada Elections Act, it is an offence to wilfully prevent or endeavour to prevent an elector from voting in an election.

  • 2011年加拿大聯邦大選舞弊醜聞是2011年加拿大聯邦大選期間發生的政治醜聞。在事件中保守黨競選辦公室涉嫌以電話向選民發放虛假信息,告知選民投票站地址有所改動,企圖透過抑制投票率從而干擾選舉結果。加拿大選舉管理局共接獲247宗相關投訴,涉及308個選區。由於根據加拿大選舉法,故意阻礙任何選民在選舉中投票是非法行為,加拿大皇家騎警(RCMP)及選舉管理局為此展開調查。事件迅速受到全國媒體的關注,導致2012年3月至4月期間至少27個城市的一連串抗議行動。 (zh)
