Section 4 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the second of three democratic rights sections in the Charter, enshrining a constitutional requirement for regular federal, provincial and territorial elections that cannot be arbitrarily delayed or suspended. Subsection 4(1) provides that the maximum term of the House of Commons of Canada, and of all provincial and territorial legislative assemblies, is five years. A narrow exception to this rule in case of war or rebellion is provided under subsection 4(2), but any extension would still require support of a two-thirds majority in each affected legislature.

  • L'article 4 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés est un des trois articles de la Charte des droits de la Constitution du Canada garantissant les droits démocratiques. Comme les citoyens canadiens ont le droit d'élire les députés de la Chambre des communes du Canada et des législatures provinciales (et le droit de se faire élire) en vertu de l'article 3 de la Charte, l'article 4 dispose que ces élections doivent avoir lieu au moins à tous les 5 ans. Une exception est prévue au paragraphe 4(2) : en cas de guerre ou d'insurrection, un vote d'au moins deux tiers des députés de la Chambre des communes ou d'une assemblée législative provinciale peut prolonger la durée d'une législature.
