The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled a law that had restricted voting rights for long-term expats for the last 25 years was unconstitutional.
In a ruling today, the country’s top court said the restriction could not be justified.
The court said the idea of electoral fairness advanced by the government was vague.
The case was brought by two Canadians who have lived for years in the United States.
