To be eligible to vote, you must be registered on the electoral list!

In accordance with the Loi sur les élections et les référendums dans les municipalités, to be eligible to be registered on the municipal electoral list, you must meet the following conditions:

Qualified elector

  • be a natural person;
  • be 18 years old on polling day;

AND

September 1st in the year of a general election, or at the time of a by-election, at the date on which the writ of election is published:

  • be a Canadian citizen;
  • not be under curatorship;
  • not have been found guilty of an offence that is a corrupt electoral practice;

And at that same date (September 1st or date of publication of the notice of election), you must meet one of the following two conditions:

  • be domiciled in the municipality and have been domiciled in Québec for at least six months;
  • have been, for at least 12 months, the owner of an immovable or the occupant of a business establishment situated on the territory of the municipality.

A legal person (eg, incorporated or limited company) is not entitled to be registered on the electoral list and is not entitled to vote in municipal council elections but does have the right to vote in a referendum.

Non-domiciled voters

An elector who is not domiciled in the municipality, but who is the owner of an immovable, or the occupant of a business establishment situated on the territory of the municipality, must transmit a signed writing to the municipality asking to have his name added to the list of electors.

Persons who are co-owners of an immovable or co-occupants of a business establishment must designate from among themselves, by means of a power of attorney sent to the municipality, only one person who can be entered on the list of electors.

WHAT YOU MUST BRING TO VOTE

At the polling station, you must establish your identity by showing one of the following documents:

  • your health insurance card;
  • your driver’s licence
  • your Canadian passport;
  • your Certificate of Indian Status;
  • your Canadian Forces identification card.

If you are registered to vote by mail and you have not received your ballot papers a few days after their sending, you can contact the returning officer to obtain new ones.

Processing of your ballots

Upon receipt of your envelope, the election officers will verify the validity of the required documents.

If everything is in order, your secret envelope will remain sealed and will be placed in a ballot box.

If any documents are missing, or if the photocopy of your ID is not correct, your secret envelope will go into the spoiled ballot box.

We remind you that voting by mail is completely secure and that at all times we make sure to protect the secrecy of your vote.
