Yes. And unless they've *finally* changed it, this list frequently #deadnames #trans people, as the List of Electors is built from CRA tax filings -- which only takes note of changes to #LastNames, not #FirstNames.

A good moment for me to make my (generally futile) reminder that a #MarriedName is an #AdoptedName / #AssumedName that is recognised by tradition and convention, and is not the same as a #LegalName.

If one obtains a #LegalChangeOfName there are additional filings (and sometimes fees, affadavits, etc) with the local #VitalStats / #Registries office, which will also result in an amendment to the name on any #BirthCertificates issued thereafter.
