Full text
659.4. If a regulation made under section 582.1 is in force, a municipality may provide that a person entered as an elector or a qualified voter on the list of electors or referendum list in a capacity other than that of a domiciled person may, on request, exercise the right to vote by mail in accordance with the regulation.
The resolution of the municipality must be passed not later than 1 July of the calendar year in which a general election is to be held or, in the case of a by-election, not later than the fifteenth day after the day on which the council is informed of the polling date. In the case of a referendum poll, the resolution must be made during the sitting of the council during which the polling date is to be set. The same rules apply to a resolution passed to annul a previous resolution.
The clerk or clerk-treasurer shall send an authenticated copy of a resolution referred to in the second paragraph to the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy and to the chief electoral officer as soon as possible after the resolution is passed.
Until the resolution of the municipality is rescinded, it is valid for the purposes of any subsequent poll.
Voting by mail applies for the purposes of a poll to elect a warden in the territory of the municipality if the territory is comprised in that of the regional county municipality whose warden is elected in accordance with section 210.29.2 of the Act respecting municipal territorial organization (chapter O-9).
Section 659.2 does not apply to voting by mail.
