Élections Québec spokesman Gabriel Sauvé-Lesiège advises citizens to also bring the commemorative card they received in the mail.

That’s the famous yellow card. If we have it, all the better. She will first tell you the place where you have to cast your vote, the number of the constituency, i.e. the ballot box in which you have to cast your vote. If you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter, the on-site staff can guide youhe said.

Citizens who want to exercise their right to vote today have to be entered on the electoral roll.

All voters who are in the queue outside their polling station at 8 p.m. will have the opportunity to exercise their voting rights.

The polling station will not be closed until all eligible voters present have cast their votes. »

A quote from Gabriel Sauvé-Lesiège, spokesman for Elections Quebec

Every vote counts

The Élections Québec spokesperson would like to point out that every vote matters, regardless of the candidate or party elected.

What people often don’t realize is that voting has a monetary value. For every vote given to a political party over the next four years, money is paid to political parties to allow them to continue their activities. Sometimes we tell ourselves it’s pointless to vote that my candidate is unlucky, but reminding people that a vote has financial value and that it can make a difference for different political formations can be an incentive pollargues Mr. Sauvé-Lesiège.
