Excerpts from relevant sections of the Election
Act (CQLR, chapter E-3.3)
To be a qualified elector, a person must have attained 18 years of age, be a Canadian citizen,
have been domiciled in Québec for six months, not be under curatorship and not be deprived of
election rights pursuant to the Election Act, the Referendum Act, the Act
respecting elections
and referendums in municipalities or the Act respecting school elections
(section 1).
Under the Civil Code of Québec, the domicile of a person, for the exercise of his or her
civil
rights, is the place of his or her principal establishment (section 75). If a person has more
than one residence, his or her principal residence is considered in establishing his or her
domicile (section 77).
Only an elector may make a contribution. Every contribution must be made by the person himself or
herself out of his or her own property. Contributions must be made voluntarily, without
compensation and for no consideration, and may not be reimbursed in any way (sections 87 and
90).
Section
91 sets out the total contributions the same elector may make to each party, independent
MNA or authorized independent candidate.
Every contribution of money of more than $50 must be made by cheque or other order of payment
signed by the elector and drawn on his or her account in a bank, authorized trust company or
financial services cooperative having an office in Québec. However, such a contribution may also
be made, in accordance with the directives of the Chief Electoral Officer, by means of a credit
card (section 95).
Every contribution must be accompanied with a contribution slip approved by the Chief Electoral
Officer. The contribution slip must include the contributor’s given name and surname and
domiciliary address, the amount of the contribution and a declaration signed by the elector that
the contribution is being made out of the elector’s own property, voluntarily, without
compensation and for no consideration, and that it has not and will not be reimbursed in any way
(section 95.1).
The contributor’s given name and surname, his or her domiciliary address and the amount of the
contribution are considered public information (section 126).
The following persons are liable to a fine of $5,000 to $20,000 for a first offence (section
564.1):
An elector who falsely declares that a contribution is being made out of the elector’s own
property, voluntarily, without compensation and for no consideration, and that it has not
and will not be reimbursed in any way;
A person who, by using threats or coercion or by promising compensation, consideration or a
reimbursement, incites an elector to make a contribution.
Under section 564.2, a person who contravenes or attempts to contravene any of the provisions of
sections 87 through 91 of the Election Act is liable to a fine of $5,000 to $20,000 for
a first
offence, in the case of a natural person, or a fine of $10,000 to $50,000 for a first offence,
in the case of a legal person.
The above-mentioned offences constitute corrupt electoral practices (section 567). Under article
568, any person convicted of such an offence loses, for a period of five years from the
judgment, the right to vote, the right to be a candidate in an election, the right to engage in
partisan work and the right to act as an election officer.
All information relating to any criminal proceedings initiated by the Chief Electoral Officer or
to any finding of guilt related to the offences described in the first or second subsections of
section 564.1 or in section 564.2 will be transmitted to the commissioners responsible for
audits at the Unité permanente anticorruption and to the Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor for
appropriate treatment under the Act respecting contracting by public bodies (section 569.1).
