Voting More Than Once? That's Lowkey Possible?! 🗳️🤯

Voting more than once in municipal elections is possible…and legal. Okay, so peep this: in Quebec, if you're ballin' and own property in different cities, you can actually vote in each of those places. Like, what?! It's a whole throwback to when only landowners had a say, but it's still a thing. Oth

Okay, so peep this: in Quebec, if you're ballin' and own property in different cities, you can actually vote in each of those places. Like, what?! It's a whole throwback to when only landowners had a say, but it's still a thing. Other provinces do it too, but don't get it twisted, you can't vote twice in the same spot, no cap.

The Deets

Alright fam, listen up. Turns out, the system is kinda rigged, but in a way you wouldn't expect. In Quebec, if you own property in multiple municipalities, you can actually vote in each one of those elections. We're talking owning an apartment building, some land, maybe a cute lil' cottage somewhere. Basically, if you got the bread, you got the vote...multiple times.

The way it works is pretty simple. If you're a Canadian citizen, 18+, you get to vote where you live. But here's the plot twist: if you also own property somewhere else, boom, you get to vote there too. Just remember, you can only vote ONCE per municipality, no matter how many properties you own there. Don't get greedy!

This whole thing is kinda a throwback to the old days when only landowners had the right to vote, especially when it came to local stuff. Back in the day, the system was set up to be kinda sus, with the British not really tryna give everyone a voice. Now other provinces do it too: Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia. Like the municipal governments were more like a side hustle for the elite instead of a real place for the public to chime in. Crazy, right?

But here's a rule to keep it all on the level: you can vote in multiple municipalities, but you can't be running for office in more than one place at the same time. So, no trying to be the mayor of every town where you own a summer house, fam. That's just not how it works.
