Nomination of a candidate

Nomination of a candidate

The registered officer of a registered political party is responsible for nominating candidates endorsed by their party. Nominations must be accompanied by a nomination deposit.

Nominations must be lodged during the nomination period, which commences when the ECQ publishes the Notice of Election on its website. Nominations close strictly at midday on the last day of the nomination period. Nomination forms received by the ECQ after this time will not be accepted.
