| | Canadian Election Law & Policies |
 | | This law was challenged during the 2000 election, by Stephen Harper when he headed up the National Citizens Coalition, on the grounds that the law is an unconstitutional limit on the freedom of expression and of the voters' rights to be fully informed of all points of view. |  | | The reports of money raised and spent by political parties and candidates in the 1997 elections and subsequent years are available in a searchable, on-line database. |  | | A controversial aspect of federal election laws is the limits placed on private individuals and groups who are not running in the election but who wish to advertise in support of or against specific candidates or parties. |

| | Canadian federal election, 1997 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 1997 was one of only two elections in Canadian history (the other was 1993) where the official Opposition did not have the majority of the opposition's seats. |  | | Chretien's decision to hold an early election did not help, as Manitoba was still recovering from a devestating Red River Flood earlier in the year. |  | | Voter turnout was 67.0%, one of the lowest federal election turnouts ever. |

 | | This was the case in the 1988 election. |  | | During election campaigns political parties compete to inform voters about their leaders, the issues, and where they stand on these issues. |  | | The gender gap in Reform voting in the 1993 and 1997 elections provides compelling evidence that men have been more likely than women to move to the right. |

 | | In Canada, the primary responsibility is for the enumeration of voters in federal elections is on Elections Canada. |  | | Up through the election of 1997, that office conducted a house-to-house enumeration before most federal elections. |  | | Data from the National Election Studies allow us to examine the differences between voters and nonvoters. |

| | CNN - Chretien sets Canadian election for June 2 - April 28, 1997 |
 | | At stake in the election will be 301 seats in the House of Commons, which is being expanded from its current 295 seats. |  | | No other government in the past 40 years with an outright majority has declared an election this early, and opposition politicians attacked Chretien's decision, saying there is no compelling reason -- other than a political one -- to hold an election now. |  | | But about one-third of voters are undecided, and the Canadian electorate has been volatile in recent years. |

 | | The main body of Canadian election law is contained in the Canada Elections Act, but many other statutes — such as the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the Broadcasting Act, the Income Tax Act, and the Criminal Code — also contain provisions regarding the Canadian electoral process. |  | | This is recognized by the constitutionally entrenched right to vote in section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which states that “Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of members of the House of Commons or of a legislative assembly and to be qualified for membership therein.” |  | | A person guilty of any corrupt electoral practice or of an illegal electoral practice is disqualified for five years after being found guilty. |

 | | Most problematic for the party is its lack of visibility with voters, many of whom admit to a complete lack of knowledge about the party or its leader. |  | | The 1997 national election survey appears to fall into this category. |  | | Two of the more interesting findings presented in the book concern the role of ideology in voter choice and a growing gender gap in voter behaviour, at least as it affects the Reform and New Democratic parties. |

 | | However, applying this simple voter migration matrix to the 1993 election results is a crude way of forecasting the outcome of the 1997 election. |  | | Second, it does not reflect the possibility that 1993 voters opt to abstain in 1997, or abstainers in 1993 opt to vote in 1997. |  | | The use of a voter migration matrix reflects the notion that voters change their opinion about candidates and parties in a similar way across the entire province. |

 | | Compared to the American case, one might say that Canadian citizens vote in the electoral college, as the number of MPs determines which party is asked to form the government. |  | | The parliamentary structure of government means that when a citizens vote for candidate to become their members of parliament (MPs), they are also casting their vote for who should lead the country as prime minister. |  | | They find that the 1997 election was fertile ground for ideological appeals from parties, and that the overall Canadian landscape experienced a shift to the right between 1993 and 1997. |
