The right to vote in democratic elections may be a basic entitlement in Canada, but the rules governing our electoral process are anything but straightforward. In this new edition, authors Donald J. Bourgeois and Jessica Spindler delve into the topic of election law in Canada and provide valuable insight into this important and evolving area.
