Elections Manitoba
Elections Manitoba (French: Élections Manitoba) is the non-partisan agency of the Government of Manitoba responsible for the conduct and regulation of provincial elections in Manitoba.
Its responsibilities are to operate free of political influence; conduct Manitoba's provincial elections, by-elections, and referendums; ensure that all eligible citizens have the opportunity to vote; promote public awareness of voting and the electoral process; help political participants to comply with election rules; facilitate The Elections Act and The Election Financing Act; and recommend improvements to existing legislation.
It is the office of the Chief Electoral Officer of Manitoba (CEO), who heads Elections Manitoba with assistance from the Deputy Chief Electoral Officer. The CEO administers provincial elections in order to ensure their fairness and freedom from political influence. The Officer reports to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and must be non-partisan, i.e., they cannot be a member of a political party or vote in an election. The current CEO as of May 2021[update] is Shipra Verma, who was appointed in 2013.
The Commissioner of Elections is appointed by the Chief Electoral Officer in consultation with all political parties, and is solely responsible for prosecuting and investigating violations of election law. The current Commissioner is Bill Bowles.

The CEO is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor-in-council, and reports to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. The Officer must be non-partisan, i.e., they cannot be a member of a political party or vote in an election.
The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer was established in 1980 to serve as an independent office of the Legislative Assembly and the Clerk of Executive Council. Obstructing the CEO became an election offence as of 1998.
Elections Manitoba is headed by the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), who is assisted by the Deputy Chief Electoral Officer. The two are supported by a core staff of 21 people.
Returning officers (ROs), who are hired by the CEO, manage the election at the electoral division level and are the main point-of-contact for information and assistance during an election. Along with assistant returning officers, ROs provide voter services—including coordination of registration, answering questions about the voting process, setting up voting places—and candidate support—including preparation and distribution of the voters list, and distributing and receiving forms, among other things.
