	Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Haig v. Canada; Haig v. Canada (Chief Electoral Officer)
		The exclusion of electors not resident in the provinces in question on the enumeration date is the clear and unambiguous consequence of the legislative scheme adopted.
		I conclude that the Referendum Act (Canada) and the Canada Elections Act could not properly be interpreted to extend an entitlement to vote to those Canadian citizens who, on the enumeration day, were not ordinarily resident in one of the jurisdictions where, pursuant to the Order-in-Council, the federal government held its referendum.
		The exclusion of electors not resident in those provinces on the enumeration date is the clear and unambiguous consequence of the legislative scheme adopted.

		Calculating the electoral district average The total population of the ten provinces is divided by 279 (the number obtained after allocating seats to the territories) to obtain the electoral quota or quotient, which is used to determine the number of seats for each province.

		The office of the Chief Electoral Officer for Canada was established in 1920, leading to the recognition of several new classes of voters throughout the land.
		The Elections Canada definition of this term is almost poetic: "The place of ordinary residence of a person is the place that has always been, or that has been adopted as, his or her dwelling place, and to which the person intends to return when away from it.
		The Chief Electoral Officer can avoid postponing in the event of a minor local emergency or an administrative error by extending voting hours later into the evening, if he or she thinks large numbers of voters might otherwise not get to vote.

	Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada - Briefs
		The recommendations in Completing the Cycle of Electoral Reforms are placed within the context of the "evolution of a fully modern, effective, independent and objective structure for the conduct of elections," an evolution which the Chief Electoral Officer states began in 1920 with the creation of his office and the end of government-delivered elections.
		The Chief Electoral Officer suggests that the requirement for 100 nomination signatures could be a violation the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, quoting on page 8 of his report from the Supreme Court Ruling in Figueroa v.
		The Chief Electoral Officer states that the "modern reality" of being a candidate is not "solely a matter of the election and the immediate follow-up period." This further points to the incoherence of the system.

		The two objectives of paragraph 51(e) of the Canada Elections Act, as submitted by the Crown and accepted by the Trial Judge, are: (a) the enhancement of civil responsibility and respect for the rule of law and (b) the enhancement of the general purposes of the criminal sanction.
		Canada may be seen as one of the front runners among democratic countries when it comes to legal and political equality.
		Until now, there has persisted the disqualification of criminals and those involved in corrupt electoral practices on the ground that they are not responsible citizens, and that they have demonstrated beyond all doubt their lack of commitment to the well-being of the community.
