248. (1)  Before receiving his ballot-paper, any person presenting himself to vote shall, if so required by the deputy returning-officer, the poll-clerk, one of the candidates or his agent, make oath in form 53, and answer in the affirmative to questions 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, and in the negative to questions 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the said form. Every person employed in the performance of work on behalf of Her Majesty in right of Québec or of Canada may further be required to declare under oath that he has resided continuously in the locality where he works during the ninety days preceding the first day of the annual enumeration or the day of issue of the writ of election in all other cases.

(2)  The person at whose request the oath was administered may ask that one or some only of the questions mentioned in form 53 be put to the voter. In such case the deputy returning-officer shall put only the question or questions indicated.

(3)  Whenever he knows or has reason to believe that any person presenting himself to vote has already voted at the election, presents himself to vote under a false name or designation, or falsely represents himself as entered on the electoral list, or that the name of such person is entered on the list of another polling-subdivision of the same or another electoral district in which he was domiciled when the list was made, every candidate, agent or election officer present in the polling-station shall require such person to take the oath prescribed by subsection 1 of this section.
