Directeur Général des élections du Québec II

Update 8:00 am: Names added to electoral list = 242.
Update 4:00 pm: The General Director has confirmed that the electoral list will be updated accordingly.
Update 1:00 pm: I have been advised that the General Director has found the missing forms & electoral list! I presume that the municipalité de Lac-Simon's electoral list will reflect this miracle.

RE: municipalité de Lac-Simon
849, chemin Tour-du-Lac
Lac-Simon, Chénéville (Québec) J0V 1E0

Subect: municipalité de Lac-Simon November 9 by-election


Directeur général des élections du Québec,

On October 20, 2008 the municipalité de Lac-Simon published an outdated electoral list. As a result, I and several hundred citizens have been excluded from voting in the municipal by-elections scheduled for November 9, 2008.

During summer 2007, the municipalité de Lac-Simon electoral list grew from approximately 800 to 1400 names. It appears that the municipalité de Lac-Simon has published an electoral list that excludes up to 600 citizens.

If these new names were good for the referendum vote on september 2 2007, should they not be good enough for the by-election vote on November 9 2008?

First, I submit that the "instructions" the new General Director Jacques Leblond is getting from maire Serge Thivierge are wrong. The municipalité de Lac-Simon maire Serge Thivierge is not only obstructing my right to vote but also several hundred other citizens.

Second, I submit that maire Serge Thivierge has not been independent and impartial in the performance of his duties, again.

The new General Director Jacques Leblond was hired on January 1, 2008. He might not know that the:

1) 2007 registration forms for "persone unique" stated:
"Demande d'inscription a la liste electorale et referendaire municipale par un proprietaire unique d'un immeuble ou par un occupant unique d'un etablissement d'entreprise

2) 2007 registration forms for "coproprietaire" stated:
"procuration generale pour designer le coproprietaire indivis d'un immeuble ou le cooccupant d,un etablissement d entreprise personnes ayant le droit d,etre inscrites sur la liste electorale municipale et referendaire."

Clearly, citizens registered their names for both "electorale municipale et referendaire". Moreover the hundreds of registration forms and the September elector list are under lock & key in the municipal offices.

We request that the Directeur général des élections du Québec demand that:
  1. All citizens whose names appeared on the electoral list for the 2007 referendum be included on the electoral list for the Municipality of Lac-Simon for the by-election vote on November 9 2008.
  2. General Director Jacques Leblond be the guarantor of an independent and impartial election.
  3. All parties conduct themselves in the highest of electoral standards.

I hope that this problem is rectified immediately.

Thanking you in advance.

Sincerely,

Paul Malouf
