Dominion Elections Act, S.C. 1948, c.46

"Exclusion from federal elections, based on provincial voters lists, endured until amendments to the Dominion Elections Act in 1948 removed its provincial piggy-backing of race provisions. Dismantling racism in federal elections law followed repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and broader reforms brought about by a change in political and social attitudes affected by the Second World War."
