In which year did Canadians of Asian descent gain the right to vote?

  1. 1948

  2. 1960

  3. 1975

  4. 1981

The correct answer is: 1948

In 1948, the Canadian government amended the Dominion Elections Act, giving the right to vote to Canadians of Asian descent. This was a significant moment, as it marked the end of discriminatory voting laws in Canada that had prevented people of Asian descent from voting in federal elections since 1907. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they are all after 1948 and do not represent the year when Canadians of Asian descent gained the right to vote.
