Mandate
The Permanent board of revisors studies the cases submitted to them when difficulties are encountered in updating the permanent list of electors.
It has the power to verify the information relating to a person entered on the permanent list of electors, conduct inquiries and summon witnesses, where necessary. It ensures that anyone who may be affected by any of its decisions has the opportunity to make their views known.
Composition
The Board consists of three members, including a chairperson, who is appointed by the Chief Electoral Officer.
A new board was formed after the October 3, 2022, general election.
Members
- Hélène Giroux, Chair
- Lucie Charbonneau
- Charlaine Dion
The Board’s work began on April 4, 2023.
How it works
The Board normally meets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In the event of a general election, the Board is dissolved and must be reconstituted within six months of the general election. During municipal elections, school elections or a referendum, the work of the Permanent Board of Revisors is suspended for the duration of the electoral period.
To support the members of the Board in their work, the Chief Electoral Officer provides them with the staff necessary to perform their duties. This team is called the secretariat of the Permanent board of revisors.
