The applicants sought leave to appeal a motion judge's decision refusing to grant an interlocutory injunction to suspend the operation of s. 46(3) of the Fair Elections Act ahead of a federal election.
The impugned provision removed the Chief Electoral Officer's discretion to authorize voter identification cards as a valid form of identification.
The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal, finding no conflicting decisions and no good reason to doubt the correctness of the motion judge's conclusion that the balance of convenience did not favour granting the injunction.
