Special Voting Rules as Adapted for the Purposes of a By-election

Note to the Reader

Subsection 178(1) of the Canada Elections Act provides that the Special Voting Rules set out in Part 11 of the Act apply to general elections only. However, subsection 178(2) stipulates that the Chief Electoral Officer may, by instructions, adapt Part 11 so that any or all of its provisions apply to a by-election. The Special Voting Rules as Adapted for the Purposes of a By-election constitute such instructions.  

On September 21, 2020, the Chief Electoral Officer made new Special Voting Rules as Adapted for the Purposes of a By-election.

 

• Instructions for the adaptation of Part 11 of the Canada Elections Act so that its provisions apply to a by-election
