Establishment of a constituency association

A minimum of ten municipal residents entitled to vote may establish a constituency association for municipal elections. In a municipality where the number of residents according to the Population Information System is at most 1,500 at the end of 30 November in the year preceding the election year, a constituency association may be established by a minimum of three municipal residents entitled to vote, and in a municipality with more than 1,500 but less than 2,000 residents, a constituency association may be established by a minimum of five municipal residents entitled to vote.

A constituency association is established by drawing up a dated and signed charter which shall contain the following information:

1)  a reference to the municipal elections in question;

2)  the candidate’s name and title, occupation or position using no more than two expressions;

3)  the name, date of birth and address of each member;

4)  an affirmation signed by each member stating that they are entitled to vote in the elections in question in the said municipality;

5)  the name and contact information of the polling representative and the deputy polling representative of the constituency association.

An eligible voter may be a member of only one constituency association. If a person is a member of two or more constituency associations, the central municipal election board shall remove his or her name from all the charters.
