The person designated must, on the date of reference and upon exercising any of those rights, be of full age and a Canadian citizen, and must be neither disqualified from voting under section 524 nor disqualified from voting as a result of a judgment rendered under article 288 of the Civil Code.
The name of the designated person shall be placed next to that of the legal person on the referendum list.
The resolution takes effect upon receipt by the municipality and remains valid until it is replaced.
A resolution adopted for the purposes of the referendum list to be used in a poll must be transmitted to the clerk or the clerk-treasurer not later than 30 days before the day fixed for the referendum poll.
A resolution transmitted after the time prescribed in the fifth paragraph but before the end of the work of the board of revisors on the last day fixed for applications to be made under sections 132 and 561 shall be deemed to be an application to amend the referendum list, unless the clerk or the clerk-treasurer has taken it into account before the deposit of the list.
