The applicants applied for judicial review seeking orders in the nature of mandamus, quo warranto, and certiorari related to a forthcoming band council election.
They sought to mandate electronic voting or a community vote and to declare the end of the incumbent council's term.
The Federal Court found no basis for mandamus, as the election had been scheduled according to the Custom Election Code, which did not permit electronic voting.
The Court also held that the term of office under the Code provided for a 30-day extension after the posting of election results, dismissing the request for quo warranto.
