I followed the events surrounding the upcoming provincial elections in Quebec very closely and I was very happy to finally be able to register my name on the electoral lists today. Well aware of the fact that English speakers from other regions of the country and particularly students had difficulty registering in Quebec, I decided to do my homework. I carefully read the voter's manual sent by the Chief Electoral Officer. of Quebec, and a document they published, specifically addressing the question of whether one was domiciled in Quebec. I looked in more detail at Book One, Title Three, Chapter II of the Civil Code of Quebec, which establishes who is considered domicile in Quebec. After reading all the information available from official sources, I put together a file full of evidence that established that I had the right to vote in Quebec. 1) My birth certificate, which establishes my Canadian citizenship as well as the fact that I am of legal age.2) My Quebec driver's license, which proves my address and establishes my principal residence.3) Bank statements, which demonstrate that my bank is in Quebec.4) Mail received from various companies and organizations, which demonstrates that my main residence is indeed in Quebec.5) Direct correspondence from my MP and my MP, which demonstrates that I have been an active member of the community in which I live.6) Membership in a political party, demonstrating that I am a member of the riding association in which I reside (Montreal). Despite the fact that the Voter's Manual for general elections, sent by mail by the Director General of Elections of Quebec, specifies that "To register, you must provide two identity papers", I took a handful of paper......middle of paper......oh, his inhibitions do not give him or the Chief Electoral Officer of Quebec the right to deny Canadian citizens their democratic rights under the article 3 of the Constitution, especially when the person in question meets the requirements demonstrated by the Civil Code of Quebec. Montreal is my home and my home is Montreal. If my Ontario roots and the fact that I am English-speaking are sufficient reasons to deny me the right to vote in the next election, the Chief Electoral Officer of Quebec seems guilty of blatant discrimination and electoral repression. There should be a formal review of the review process and an official investigation to determine whether the office of the Chief Electoral Officer of Quebec was influenced in any way by the government of the day. Quite contrary to the motto of the Chief Electoral Officer, democracy in Quebec. is really lost.
