By Robert Frank<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quebec has called a byelection, Nov. 9, to elect a successor to Gilles Ouimet in Fabre riding in west end Laval.\u00a0Ouimet quit politics at the end of August in order to spend more time with his eight-month-old son<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe writ was issued today,\u201d Elections Quebec spokesman Denis Dion told\u00a0The Suburban<\/em>, Oct. 7, the day that election posters popped up around the riding for\u00a0Quebec Liberal candidate Monique Sauv\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eligible voters can cast their ballots at advance polls Nov. 1-2, from 9:30 a.m.-8 p.m. They can also vote at the returning officer\u2019s office starting Oct. 30\u2014a mere 11 days after the ongoing federal election wraps up.<\/p>\n

Elections Quebec has created a special web page in English at\u00a0http:\/\/www.monvote.qc.ca\/partielles\/en\/index.asp<\/a>\u00a0where you can find information about the byelection. It also provides information about three other byelections elsewhere in Quebec that will be held on the same day.<\/p>\n

Sauv\u00e9 might have jumped the gun slightly by putting up her posters so swiftly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe electoral period, in terms of finances and election expenses, began Oct. 8 and will continue until Nov. 9,\u201d explained in an interview, the day after Sauv\u00e9\u2019s posters appeared.<\/p>\n

As a result, she might not be benefit from election funding for part of the cost of her posters. The Quebec government usually subsidizes the political process by picking up half the cost of certain election expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone who put his or her poster out before Oct. 8, won\u2019t be reimbursed for one day out of the 34-day election period,\u201d Dion explained. \u201cSo 1\/34th of those expenses might not be deemed election spending for reimbursement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prospective candidates couldn\u2019t officially submit their nomination papers before 2 p.m., Oct. 9. They can do so any time until 2 p.m., Oct. 24.<\/p>\n
