Voting is not only useless, it actually undermines genuine democracy by legitimizing an inherently undemocratic process. During this
election we are encouraging people to eat their ballots by having our chefs develop
delicious recipes. Check out great dishes such as The Ballot Burger, with a side order of
Campaign Literature. Or perhaps you enjoy cheese and would like to
try a Ballot
Fondue. Of course, there are other interesting ways todestroy your ballot...but try not
to wind up in jail...
During the last two Canadian Federal Elections, EBS members were
actually charged with
destroying their
own ballots. Check out our history, and press releases here.
Mailing list:
For those interested in organizing our campaign there is a mailing list to
allow the local groups to coordinate their efforts and exchange ideas and
information. If you want to join
the mailing list, email lists@tao.ca
with the command "subscribe ebs-l" in the body of the email.

Updates:
For a taste of surrealism:
Is someone allowed to eat a ballot? is the first question on Elections' Canada FAQ.
For regular updates from the EBS, email
ebs _at_ tao.ca with the subject "me want updates".
Special thanks to DIST for providing us
with a research grant, and
tao for allowing us to squat.

Politicians sell
their vote to corporate donors all the time, why shouldn't we also
profit? People across the country can sell their votes on the
Ballot Auction House (not to mention on EBay, and in
classified ads). Help bring market efficiency to the
electoral process! Note: Bidding has ended, but you can still
view the list of sold votes.
The Edible
Ballot Society is an international coalition of groups, all organizing
locally and
coordinating their efforts. Start up a group in your city, town, school
or
prison, or join one which already exists. For those involved in the
organizing efforts there is a list-serve which you can join. We also have
some resources such as posters,
pamphlets, articles, links and research
material. If you want updates on our campaign, email ebs _at_
tao.ca.
If you have
spare change, make a donation.
