  • Section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a section that constitutionally guarantees Canadian citizens the democratic right to vote in a general federal or provincial election and the right to be eligible for membership in the House of Commons or of a provincial legislative assembly, subject to the requirements of Section 1 of the Charter. Federal judges, prisoners and those in mental institutions have gained the franchise as a result of this provision, whereas the restriction on minors voting was found to be permissible due to section 1. Section 3 is one of the provisions in the Charter that cannot be overridden by Parliament or a legislative assembly under Section 33 of the Charter, the notwithstanding clause. Section 3's exemption from Section 33 provides extra legal protection to the right to vote and it may prevent Parliament or the provincial governments from disenfranchising any Canadian citizen for ideological or political purposes, among others.

  • L'article 3 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés est l'article de la Charte des droits de la Constitution du Canada qui consacre dans la constitution la garantie du droit de vote pour tous les citoyens du Canada, ainsi que le droit d'être éligible lors des élections pour représenter leurs concitoyens. Ce droit est l'un de ceux qui ne peuvent être affectés par la disposition de dérogation, empêchant ainsi le Parlement du Canada ou tout gouvernement provincial de retirer le droit de vote aux citoyens, qui, selon les tribunaux, peuvent l'exercer de façon rationnelle. Cependant, toute décision concernant les personnes qui peuvent exercer ce droit de façon rationnelle est sujette aux limites prévues à l'article 1 de la Charte (fr)
