13.1. The division into electoral districts applies for the purposes of the first general election following the coming into force of the by-law of the municipality or of the decision of the Commission, as the case may be, and for the purposes of every subsequent election held before the second general election.
For the purposes of such an election, the words “wards” and “electoral districts”, in the constituent act of the municipality or in the act governing it, mean an electoral district delimited pursuant to this chapter. This chapter does not, however, affect the wards delimited in the Charter of the city of Montréal (1959-1960, c. 102).
1979, c. 39, s. 8; 1980, c. 16, s. 13; 1982, c. 54, s. 40.
