Christian Heritage Party candidates, 2000 Canadian federal election
Encyclopedia
The Christian Heritage Party of Canada
(CHP) fielded 46 candidates in the 2000 Canadian federal election
, none of whom were elected. Information about these candidates may be found here.
Federal electoral laws in effect at the time required a party to run 50 candidates in order to retain official status; as the CHP only was able to nominate 46 candidates by the nomination deadline, the party lost its registered status two days after the deadline. As a result, all of its candidates appeared on the ballot of the 2000 election as "non-affiliated". The party successfully ran at least 50 candidates in 2004 and regained status, and the law has since been changed to allow registration to parties running a single candidate.
