Not a bad turnout for a municipal byelection.

Very badly run…. the station on St-Urbain at the Multi-Cultural Centre had work from Hydro in front with parts of the sidewalk blocked and no handicapped accessible parking. We had to go to a polling station that was 14 blocks away in spite of being just 2 blocks away from 3 different polling stations.

Ephraim, that’s not necessarily “very badly run”. If the work had been there for days, I’d agree. Was it? If there was an emergency that Hydro had to respond to, well…

I think LONGER. They should have used another location, or temporarily marked spots for handicapped parking and fixed accessibility. Everyone is supposed to be able to vote… Take a look at https://election-montreal.qc.ca/userfiles/file/Partielle_PMR_2019/arrondissement/Carte_PMR_Jeanne-Mance_20190903.pdf and you will see that purple (12-24) all voted at #2. The yellow (35-43) at #4 and the bright blue (44-51) at #5.
