The legislation, entitled the Citizen Voting Act, follows a court ruling last spring that struck down a law which stripped expats of their voting rights once they'd lived outside the country for more than five years and - The Harper government is tightening the rules for Canadian expatriates who want to vote in federal elections. And it would allow them to vote only in the constituencies in which they last lived, putting an end to the possibility of "riding shopping." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
