"A History of the Vote in Canada" by Elections Canada, 1997. 106 pp. "A History of the Vote in Canada" is a significant historical and civic reference work commissioned by Elections Canada to mark the 25th anniversary of the Canada Elections Act. The book provides a detailed chronological narrative of the evolution of democratic rights in Canada, tracing the journey from the restrictive colonial era—where voting was limited to property-owning men—to the achievement of universal suffrage. It specifically documents the hard-fought battles for the enfranchisement of women, Indigenous peoples, and various ethnic and religious minorities who were systematically excluded from the electoral process for decades.
