Registering or changing a group

Registering or changing a group

If you and another candidate or candidates decide to campaign as a group, you can apply to register your group any time up to the day before election day.

If you’ve applied to register the group before the close of nominations for candidates, your group’s name will appear next to your name on ballot papers.

Note: each candidate in your group must still nominate as an individual candidate even if you have already registered as a group.

You can change your group’s membership or end your group’s campaigning (de-register) any time before election day. If you add a new candidate to your group, the existing group must not engage in group campaign activities with the new candidate until the proposed change is approved by the ECQ. Any changes to a group made after the close of nominations will not be reflected on the ballot paper.

Registrations, changes, and de-registrations must all be done through the ECQ Self Service Portal. To log in, register, or complete the required forms, click:
