Only a small percentage of the population could vote. These potential voters were men over the age of 21, usually with British backgrounds and they either had personal property or real property of value. In New Brunswick, for example, a man needed to have a value of $400. In Ontario, an annual income of $250 for urban dwellers would qualify one to cast a ballot. Excluded were all women, Aboriginal people and members of certain religious denominations and racial groups.

The only Canadians who may not cast a vote are the Chief Electoral Officer (as per s. 4(a) of the Canada Elections Act), and the Assistant Chief Electoral Officer (as per s. 4(b) of the Canada Elections Act). Therefore, the Governor General of Canada has the legal right to vote.
