## Editorial decision

Published automatically as a routine, low-risk Conservative voter-resource item. The article uses a public Conservative Party statement as a constructive community hook and official election-agency pages for voter-registration facts. It avoids criminal allegations, private-person accusations, medical claims, leaked material and unverified social-media claims.

## Evidence labels

- **Official party source:** The Conservative Party of Canada's August 26 Onam statement is used as a federal/Pierre/CPC community-recognition hook. Its values framing is labelled as party messaging.
- **Official federal election source:** Elections Canada's voter-registration page is used for federal registration/eligibility and advance-registration context.
- **Official provincial election source:** Elections BC's registration page is used for B.C. voter eligibility and registration methods.
- **Commentary/video leads:** The automated daily scan included YouTube/commentary leads, but no factual claim from those videos was repeated as proof.
