A petition and YouTube cartoon questioning the Yukon's enumeration process is garnering a lot of attention from concerned voters this week.

The petition states that it aims to take tally of those concerned with the election results and how they were arrived at, "given the ease of potential voter fraudulence enabled by unacceptably lax enumeration and polling station due diligence.”

But Jo-Ann Waugh, the Chief Electoral Officer for Elections Yukon, says she isn't interested at looking at the petition.

She says concerned Yukoners should talk to their newly elected MLAs, as they are the ones who have the power to change legislation.

Waugh told the Star this morning that although her office has received a "small number” of complaints regarding enumeration, there has never been any indication at her office of potential fraud.

The petition, which is targeted at Elections Yukon, was sent to the ArtsNet mailing list Tuesday morning with only a handful of signatures.

This morning, that number was reaching 60, including the name of a defeated NDP candidate and several people working at the polls.

The group of people behind the petition and cartoon— including locals Lauren Tuck, Dean WIlliams and Elanor Rosenberg— are hoping to rack up 1,000 signatures.

The two issues which arise in the petition's comment section are the fact opposites: Elections Yukon is too relaxed at the door and too uptight at the polls.

"I was enumerated without any questions being asked about how long I had been a Yukon resident, whether I was a Canadian citizen, etc,” one voter wrote.

"I was a scrutineer at a polling station all morning until one p.m. and was horrified by how many people who I have known for years were turned away,” wrote another.

One voter took another angle, claiming the petition had more stringent requirements than Elections Yukon.

The YouTube video, called Yukon Territory Voting Instructions, opens with an enumerator asking the stereotypical Yukon bearded hippie— named Hank Mann— how many people would like to be on the voting list.

"We have two roommates, yeah,” says Mann.

The cartoon switches to an image of a cat and goldfish.

"That was easy,” Mann mutters.

The video, which is over three minutes long, was posted on Monday and has had over 550 hits.

Waugh confirmed that unless you were sworn in at the polls, you don't need to show any identification — both while getting your name on the voters list and on election day.

"When people are making complaints, they need to understand the process and what drives it.”

A lot of people are getting confused between enumeration and being sworn in at the polls, she stressed.

Yukon's process, she said, is not about having to prove yourself.

As well, the voters list is made public so if someone is on the list who shouldn't be, anyone has a chance to spot the mistake.

"People need to look at other jurisdictions who have implemented the ID rule and see how it's working,” said Waugh.

She was referring to a recent news article that suggested the Northwest Territories' recent election turnout was low because voters had to show ID.

As for being sworn in at the polls, Waugh confirmed that Yukoners needed to bring an enumerated person from their polling area to vouch for them, as well as identification that proves their identity and address in the riding.

And this is the first general election since 1982 where Yukoners had the option of being sworn in at the polls, she continued.

As with any election, Waugh explained, Elections Yukon will complete a review of this year's process and submit it to the legislative assembly.

The review will look at complaints Elections Yukon has received, as well as comments from returning officers.
