Which of course would easily confuse older voters, minorities or even people having an off day.

Honestly if I got a call from Elections Canada on the day of the election (or the day before) I would listen and probably go where the new polling station was supposed to be. I consider myself pretty well versed in these things and pay attention, but if it sounds like its legit then I wouldn't expect any party to try to mislead me.
