The Electoral List

The City of Westmount’s electoral list is constituted from the list of domiciled electors entered on the permanent electoral list of Québec. However, the Returning Officer may add to that list the names of persons entitled to be entered as the owners of an immovable or as the occupants of a business establishment up until a deadline which will be announced in the lead up to the elections.

Revision of the List

A notice indicating, for every address, the name of electors entered on the electoral list as well as the place, days and times of revision of the electoral list will be sent to every address in the territory of the City of Westmount in the weeks leading up to the vote. If the details on that notice are incomplete or inaccurate, the elector should appear before the board of revisors and apply for entry, correction or striking, as the case may be.

The board of revisors will sit at Westmount City Hall situated at 4333 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest:

• October 2025 (dates to be determined)

In the weeks leading up to the vote, a reminder card will be sent to every elector entered on the list indicating his or her electoral district, polling division, the place where elector may exercise the right to vote as well as the names of the candidates for mayor and for councillor for his or her district.

To expedite the voting process, electors should keep the reminder card and present it to the elections personnel on voting day.
