277. In a municipality divided into electoral districts pursuant to the Act respecting elections in certain municipalities (chapter E-2.1), a person contemplated in article 274 may vote at the election of the mayor and at the election of the local councillor for the electoral district where he is domiciled, or where the immovable of which he is the owner or the store, counting-house, shop, office or place of business of which he is the tenant, as the case may be, is located.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, if a person contemplated in article 274 who has not been domiciled in the municipality for at least 12 months preceding polling day is both the owner of an immovable and the tenant of a store, counting-house, shop, office or place of business, the address of the immovable of which he is the owner is the address taken into account. If such a person is the owner of more than one immovable, the address of the immovable which has the highest valuation entered on the roll of real estate values is the address taken into account. If such a person is the tenant of more than one store, counting-house, shop, office or place of business, the address of that one which has the highest value entered on the roll of rental values or, if there is no such roll, of that one having the highest rent, is the address taken into account.
