Municipal elections follow a multi-stage process:
- Announcement of election and nomination period: publication of notice of election and filing of nominations.
- Candidates’ election campaigns: debates, citizens’ meetings and distribution of programs.
- Revision of the electoral roll
- Voting days and options: the choice is yours!
- Advance voting: allows voters to cast their ballot before the official polling day. It is organized on specific dates set by the electoral authority, and offers a convenient option for those unable to get to the polls on polling day. This year, you can vote at the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer on Friday, October 24 between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m., and at advance polls on October 25 and 26 between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m.
- Mobile voting: offered to electors unable to move about for health reasons and registered on the electoral list as a domiciled person. They will then be able to vote in their room in an eligible healthcare facility or at home. The same applies to a caregiver domiciled at the same address as such a person.
- Absentee voting: allows eligible voters to send in their ballots by mail. This option is available to electors who are not domiciled and who have made a prior request to the returning officer.
- Election day: Voters must go to the polling station assigned to them on their information card.
- Counting and unveiling of results: tallying of votes and official announcement of those elected.
