Full text
94. The polling stations of a sector must be situated in one place of convenient access, and, except in exceptional circumstances, must be accessible to handicapped persons.
However, where a special circumstance justifies it, the returning officer may establish the polling stations in more than one place.
In addition, if the returning officer is unable to establish a polling station in a place accessible to handicapped persons, he must obtain the authorization of the chief electoral officer before establishing it in a place not so accessible.
In particular, the returning officer shall ensure that places where polling stations are located are arranged in such a manner that electors appearing before the identity verification panel do not hinder or delay the polling proceedings.

94. The returning officer shall establish as many polling stations as he considers necessary.
The polling stations of an electoral division must be grouped in one public place. However, if the returning officer considers it preferable by reason of the size of the electoral division, the number of electors in the electoral division or the presence in that electoral division of a facility maintained by an institution operating a hospital centre, a residential and long-term care centre or a rehabilitation centre within the meaning of the Act respecting health services and social services (chapter S-4.2), he may establish these stations at more than one place.
