Two candidates for council seats in Windsor are learning democracy is not universal.
Josh Jaquot in Ward 6 and Lillian Kruzsely in Ward 5 tried to campaign in an apartment building at Riverside Drive and Pillette Road.
They were escorted out of the building and told it is a secure residence.
Jacquot told CTV Windsor they were unceremoniously told to leave.
"Who let you guys in and you guys shouldn't be here, this is a secured building and you guys shouldn't be here only Monday through Friday 9 am to 4 pm"
Jacquot says there is value in getting to speak with residents because most of them don't even know there is an election.
Windsor's Manager of Records and Elections Chuck Scarpelli says this complaint isn't new.
"Many, many times I've received calls in past elections from candidates who can't get in or sometimes they're restricted they'll let you in but you can only sit in the lobby," he says.
Scarpelli says the revised Elections Act requires condos and apartments to allow candidates in to campaign from 9 am to 9 pm.
But he adds there is no empowerment in the act to allow the clerk or any other city official to enforce that rule.
