Following the nomination period, which closed on September 29, six of the nine English-language school boards will hold elections to fill certain seats on their Council of Commissioners. Élections Québec invites electors who have the right to vote for these seats to ensure that their name is on the notice of entry they received by mail. This will confirm that they are on the list of electors, which is necessary for voting.
