122. The Director General and the deputy directors of the Sûreté du Québec, and the directors and assistant directors of other police forces cannot, on pain of disciplinary action, be candidates in a federal or provincial election or in a municipal or school election, or engage in partisan activity for or against a candidate in such an election or for or against a political party.

Police officers other than those referred to in the preceding paragraph and special constables cannot, on pain of disciplinary action, be candidates in school or municipal elections, or engage in partisan activity for or against a candidate in such an election or for or against a political party, within the area where they habitually exercise their functions.

The exercise of the right to vote in an election, membership in a political party or attendance at a public meeting of a political nature does not constitute partisan activity.
