Order 2: To declare British
Columbia’s General Election infringed the petitioner`s Charter
Three Guaranteed Rights -- by the Impugned Electoral Reform Referendum 2009
Act Regulations Section 29.4: (Referendum advertising must not, directly or
indirectly, (a) promote a registered political party or the election of a
candidate or (b) form part of election advertising,). The impugned regulation
infringed the petitioners Charter 3 right to the guarantee of effective
representation.
Political reform advertisers for all practical purposes were
barred from the newspapers and on TV etc. – the exception to the rule
was that we were allow unlimited access to running simplistic advertising
limited to saying vote yes or no for STV.
BC Elections has indicated that election advertisers were banned from
mentioning which candidates supported STV directly or indirectly for just the
May 09 General Election because of Electoral Reform Regulation 29.4. The
Province is to produce an affidavit from BC Elections.
