To qualify as an elector and be entered on the list of electors, every person must:

• Be a physical person (not an organization or legal person)
• Be 18 or over on polling day

and, at reference date

• Be a Canadian citizen
• Not be under curatorship
• Not be disqualified under the law
• Be domiciled on the territory of the city of Montréal

Every person must also meet one of the following conditions:

• Have been domiciled on the territory of the city of Montréal and, since at least six months, within Québec;

or

• Have been the sole owner of an immovable property within the territory of the city of Montréal since at least a year, and have filed a written application for entry with the returning officer;

or

• Have been the sole occupant of a business establishment within the territory of the city of Montréal since at least a year, and have filed a written application for entry with the returning officer.

Where an immovable belongs to undivided co-owners or where a business establishment is occupied by co-occupants, no person other than the undivided co-owner or the co-occupant designated under a power of attorney signed by the majority of co-owners or co-occupants may be entered on the list of electors as owner of the immovable or occupant of the business establishment. The power of attorney must be filed with Élections Montréal.
