Canada's Liberal government introduced a bill to increase voter eligibility, including rolling back a measure that excluded more than one million expatriates from voting in 2015. <br/><br/>The expatriates who have stayed outside the country for more than five years will be allowed to vote. <br/><br/>Maryam Monsef, the minister for democratic institutions, informed yesterday that the reforms will do away with barriers to voting, while enhancing the efficiency of the elections. <br/><br/>Monsef said she hopes to introduce that legislation in the first half of 2017. A national registry will be created of future electors, aged 14 to 17, who would be automatically added to registration rolls when they turn 18.
