    Est-ce qu'il y aura possibilité d'ajouter des nouveaux candidats? Si oui, quelle est la date limite?

    Conrad asked 15 days ago

    Bonjour, 

    Et merci pour votre question. En fait, le processus de mise en candidature a également été repoussé d'un an. Les intéressés doivent donc respecter les lignes directrices et échéanciers indiquées par Élections NB pour soumettre leur nom au scrutin. Tous les détails se trouvent ici : https://www.electionsnb.ca/content/enb/fr/EMDSRRS-2021.html. 

    Cordialement,
    Nicole

    TRANSLATION: Can new candidates be added? If so, what are the deadlines? 
    All requirements and deadlines for the municipal election were also held over to this year, so interested citizens could seek to add their name to the ballot. Details are outlined here: https://www.electionsnb.ca/content/enb/en/MDECRHA-2021.html.

    I’ll be out of town on May 11th. Is it possible to place my votes on the week of March 16th? Is so, how? Is online voting available?

    Marc-Andre LeBlanc asked 11 months ago

    Hello, 

    Elections NB sets the dates for advance polls, which this year will take place on May 2 and May 4 (https://www1.gnb.ca/Elections/en/mun20may11/20may11munschedulelist-e.asp). Your voter card will include details on location and time. If these dates do not work for you, you may consider applying for a special ballot: https://www.electionsnb.ca/content/enb/en/voters/when_where.html. 

    Though it is a frequent topic of discussion and debate, online voting has not yet been adopted by the Province. 

    Hope this helps,

    Nicole
