 In Canada, several religious groups (Mennonites, Hutterites, Doukhobors) were disenfranchised by the wartime Elections Act of 1917, mainly because they opposed military service.This disenfranchisement ended with the closure of the First World War, but was renewed for Doukhobors from 1934 (via the "Dominion Elections Act") to 1955.The first Constitution of modern Romania in 1866 provided in article 7 that only Christians could become Romanian citizens.
