Section 329 of the Canada Elections Act information


Section 329 of the Canada Elections Act was designed to prevent the transmission of any election results until polls were closed nationwide. Section 329 stated that:

"No person shall transmit the result or purported result of the vote in an electoral district to the public in another electoral district before the close of all of the polling stations in that other electoral district."[1]

But on January 13, 2012, the Canadian government said it planned to repeal Section 329 of the Canada Elections Act[2] due to technological changes and the inability to enforce it. It was just another step in the changing dynamic of journalism, technology, and the democratic process.

Section 329 was repealed on June 19, 2014 as part of the Fair Elections Act.[3]
