The Event Management System(EMS) will continue to be used to gather the internal and electoral district information required daily at Elections Canada to manage the delivery of an electoral event. This comprises monitoring activities against expected deadlines and statutory obligations, and measuring the effectiveness of delivery systems and processes. EMS has been in place since the 1993 general election. Since its inception, EMS has expanded. It now includes computerized aides-mémoire for returning officers and Elections Canada staff, generates reports using automated linkages to event delivery systems, and incorporates state-of-the-art presentation tools. At the next electoral event, its reporting capability will include feedback to returning officers. 2, record 1, English, - Event%20Management%20System

Le Système de gestion des scrutins (SGS) continuera de servir à rassembler les renseignements internes et des circonscriptions dont Élections Canada a besoin chaque jour pour gérer la conduite d'un scrutin. Cela comprend le contrôle d'activités en fonction des échéanciers établis et des obligations juridiques et l'évaluation de l'efficacité des systèmes et méthodes de prestation. Le SGS est en place depuis l'élection générale de 1993. On l'a ensuite élargi de manière à y ajouter des aide-mémoire informatisés à l'intention du personnel des bureaux des directeurs du scrutin et d'Élections Canada, à produire des rapports au moyen de liens automatisés avec les systèmes de conduite de scrutins et à y intégrer des outils de présentation de pointe. Lors du prochain scrutin, sa capacité de rapport inclura des rétroactions à l'intention des directeurs du scrutin. 2, record 1, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20de%20gestion%20des%20scrutins
