A group of media organizations, including the CBC, has filed a motion to lift a publication ban on voting results for the upcoming federal election.

The election gag law, in effect for the Jan. 23 vote, bans the transmission of election results to areas of the country where polls remain open. The media wants it lifted so results can be published online and broadcast nationwide as soon as they become available.
