Following the 44th general federal election, Candidate Alejandra Bravo applied for a judicial recount in the electoral district of Davenport.
During the recount, disputes arose regarding whether to open envelopes containing spoiled and unused ballots for several polling stations.
The court issued extemporaneous rulings, allowing some envelopes to be opened where there were significant discrepancies or confusion on the Statements of the Vote, while declining others where the evidence of unreliability was insufficient.
Ultimately, Candidate Bravo terminated the recount pursuant to section 307 of the Canada Elections Act, and the original election results were confirmed.
