In a split decision, the Ontario Court of Appeal has overturned the Superior Court ruling that the rule prohibiting Canadians who have lived abroad for more than 5 years from voting is unconstitutional. The applicants, Dr. Gillian Frank and Jamie Duong, who are represented by Shaun O'Brien and Amanda Darrach of the firm, are disappointed by the ruling and are considering next steps.
