Fair Voting BC: the charter, courts, and election law

Sirota, L. (2026) Fair Voting BC: the charter, courts, and election law. Constitutional Forum Constitutionelle, 34 (3). pp. 1-10. ISSN 1927-4165 doi: 10.21991/cf29508

Abstract/Summary

This article focuses on the argument based on the right to vote in Fair Voting BC v Canada, and what the Ontario Court of Appeal’s rejection of it tells us about the interpretation of the Charter. It also addresses the broader issues surrounding the role of the courts in relation to election laws that arise out of the apparent disagreement between Dawes JA’s concurring opinion and Huscroft JA’s majority one.
