E-2.2 - Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities

Full text
292.1. If the court declares that the election of the candidate of an authorized party to the office of mayor is null, it may at the same time declare the candidate elected to the office of councillor of an electoral district in place of his co-candidate, unless the ground for the nullity of the election is the respondent’s ineligibility or the use by the respondent or, with his knowledge and consent, by another person, of a corrupt electoral practice.
Where the court declares elected to the office of mayor the candidate of an authorized party who has been declared elected to the office of councillor of an electoral district in preference to his co-candidate, it may at the same time declare the co-candidate elected as councillor in place of the candidate.
