The Council of Canadians and the Canadian Federation of Students will ask the courts to overturn parts of the Harper governments Fair Elections Act.The two groups and three individual electors will file their suit in Ontario Superior Court. Council executive director Garry Neil says those provisions violate the equality provisions of the charter, as well as the guaranteed right to vote. It will make it impossible for thousands of electors to prove their address or identity in order to obtain a ballot to vote in the next election.
