The impacts of the Canada Post strike
On September 25, Canada Post went on strike, with collective agreements having expired since 2024. There are multiple causes for the conflict, and no one knows how long it will last.
This situation raises an important question: could the strike disrupt the upcoming municipal elections?
Election reminder cards that may not arrive
Usually, reminder cards—the ones that tell you where and when to vote—are sent by mail. However, during a strike, many voters may not receive their cards on time.
This could complicate participation, especially in small municipalities where information is not always disseminated quickly.
Voting without a card is possible!
Even if you haven’t received your reminder card, you can still vote.
The only requirement is to present photo ID showing your voter address. For example: a driver’s license, health insurance card, or government-issued ID card.

Vote on election day
Election day will take place on Sunday, November 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Of course, the question remains as to where you will be able to vote. I invite you to ask the North Hatley Election Chair.

Vote early on Sunday, October 26
Don’t forget that you can vote early before the election on Sunday, October 26, from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Of course, the question remains: where can you vote? I invite you to ask the North Hatley election chair. To find your polling place, contact your election chair.

Check your registration on the electoral roll
To exercise your right to vote, you must be registered on the municipal electoral roll.
Normally, the reminder card also serves to confirm this registration.
But if you do not receive it, it becomes essential to check your status yourself.
If you are not registered, you can ask to be added until October 15 by contacting the election chair at 330 Chemin de la Rivière.

You can apply to vote at your domicile if your mobility is reduced or if you are unable to move about for health reasons. If you are eligible for this service, election officers will come to your domicile so you can exercise your right to vote. Your informal caregiver could also vote at the same time, if they are entered in the same polling subdivision as you on the list of electors. Contact your returning officer for more information.

Voting by mail
Full text from Elections Quebec
Some municipalities offer voting by mail to non-domiciled electors, i.e., owners or co-owners of a building and occupants or co-occupants of a business establishment. If you are a non-domiciled elector in a municipality that offers this voting option, you can apply.
If you are eligible for this service, you will receive a voting by mail kit no later than 10 days before polling day. Ask your returning officer for more information.

Conclusion
With less than 30 days to go before the election, no official information about the North Hatley municipal elections is available on the municipality’s website. Only the page for the 2023 by-election is still there, with no updates on the 2025 vote or the returning officer. (official source).
On that note, happy voting on November 2!
