Optimized Municipal Elections: Voter Registration and Community Mobilization in Shawinigan
Importance of Being Registered on the Electoral List
As the municipal elections approach on November 2, residents of Shawinigan are urged to ensure their registration on the electoral list. This crucial step in the democratic process requires residents to verify that their names are listed correctly. Without this verification, the right to vote may be at risk.
How to Check Your Registration Status
Residents have two convenient methods to confirm their voter registration:
- Online at www.shawinigan.ca/electeurs
- Receiving a voter card at their home address in the coming weeks
The voter card will list all registered voters at the recipient’s address. If inaccuracies are found, it’s essential to visit the Commission de révision de la liste électorale to correct any errors.

In-person corrections to the electoral list must be made at the city hall council room as per the following schedule:

Innovative Door-to-Door Voter Information Delivery
Due to a Canada Post strike, Shawinigan’s municipal administration has swiftly mobilized a door-to-door distribution system for voter cards. This initiative not only supports the efficiency of the voting process but also ensures that essential voting information reaches all citizens.
A private company will manage the distribution in urban areas, while municipal staff will handle it in more remote areas, demonstrating exemplary community spirit. Approximately 30,757 voter notices will be delivered between October 10 and October 19.
Expanded Hours for Voter List Corrections
In a bid to accommodate all residents, the Commission de révision has doubled its available hours for registration corrections. This increased accessibility allows voters ample opportunity to ensure their information is accurate ahead of election day.
Accessing the Municipal Election Guide
For comprehensive information on the upcoming elections, residents are encouraged to consult the Voter’s Guide. This resource is accessible online at www.shawinigan.ca/electeurs and in print at local libraries and the city hall reception.
To exercise your right to vote on November 2, it is vital to make use of these resources and services provided by the city. For further assistance or inquiries, contact the Citizen Service at [email protected] or 819-536-7200.
