Montreal - Thursday, October 8, 2020

The Quebec government has issued Decree 1039-2020 on October 7, 2020, indefinitely postponing school board elections  in red zones scheduled for November 1 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The election for commissioner in Ward 3 (Westmount-Sud Ouest) has been suspended. As a result, the work of the electoral revision office will halt activities and resume when a new date is chosen.  The By-Mail voting is cancelled and those who were permitted to vote by mail will also be contacted when the election process resumes.
