E-2.1 - Act respecting elections in certain municipalities
Section 26
Disposition versions
26. (Repealed).
26. If a person contemplated in the first paragraph of section 22 is declared elected to the office of mayor, for lack of another candidate for this office or following the withdrawal of such a candidate, he ceases therefrom to be the candidate for the office of councillor of an electoral district.
His co-candidate then becomes the only candidate of the party for the latter office and is no longer qualified as a co-candidate.
If the withdrawal contemplated in the first paragraph occured too late to enable the returning-officer to have new ballot-papers printed for the election to the office of councillor contemplated in the first paragraph and the poll for such office is necessary, the polling clerk uses the papers in his possession, after striking out, visibly and evenly, with an ink-line, the inscriptions concerning the person elected to the office of mayor, as well as the inscription “co-candidate” next to the name of his co-candidate, and such papers are sufficient for all the purposes of the election.
