This manual considers inclusivity in relation to readability and usability. Where the generic masculine appears, it is used without bias and solely to maintain a clear and simple language.
The Canada Elections Act mentions elector, administrator, candidate, member of Parliament, and other relevant terms as generic terms. We have therefore modelled the text in this manual along the same principles.
