Being informed with the information available at the time and being informed with all information is two different things.
We don’t have all information about any candidates and election dates have to have dates in which they end. That this information came out when it did should be investigated to ensure there was no suppression of information during the election. However I strongly disagree that people didn’t have the right to cast an informed vote.
The vast majority of those voting early did so out of choice and not need.(speculation on my part) Those people decided the level of information they had was sufficient knowing that info could come out later. We were just reminded of this in the federal election. If late dropping info was a concern most people could have mitigated this.
