The Compendium of Election Administration in Canada is a comprehensive summary of the election legislation in effect at the federal level and in each of Canada's provinces and territories. The Compendium offers summaries and comparative tables of the legislation on the establishment and revision of electoral boundaries, the administration of elections, the registration of electors, the voting process, the nomination of candidates and registration of political parties, election financing, the enforcement of the Act and amendments, and referendums and plebiscites. It also includes a summary of recent case law relating to election issues, and a component presenting various statistics on elections and referendums. The Compendium is produced annually for the Conference of Canadian Election Officials. The current edition, which was presented in draft form in July 2001 at the most recent Conference, reflects the status of legislation in effect as of September 2001. The Compendium is the work of a number of people. The project was developed and headed by Alain Pelletier, Assistant Director of Policy and Research at Elections Canada, working closely with Tim Mowrey on the production of the 2000 and 2001 editions. Since 1999, other people have also contributed to the project, including Marie-Ève Poulin, Nathalie Nye, Marc Taschereau, Christine Moreau-Tremblay, Jaime Aliaga Gallo and Jean-Sébastien Bargiel. The Compendium owes its content to the invaluable contribution of all the Canadian election administrations, provincial and territorial, who graciously provided the necessary documentation and updates, along with valuable comments. The Communication Branch at Elections Canada also provided significant support for the production, translation and publication of the Compendium and the Comparative Overview. I want to personally thank all those people who contributed to this project. Alain Pelletier
