Quebec municipal referendums, 2004
Encyclopedia
Following municipal mergers of 2002, a new government was elected in Quebec
with a promise to unmerge most of those cities. It was decided to open public registers, then to organize referendums in the municipalities where a great number of citizens asked to.
From 16 to 20 May 2004, registers were established in the localities merged in 2001-2002 to allow referendums over the re-establishment of those localities, 10% of the population was needed to sign the registers (those in bold were successful).
On June 20, referendums were scheduled in the following municipalities. To be unmerged, they had to obtain a more than 50% of the vote for "yes", representing at least 35% of the electors. Municipalities with those conditions are shown in bold.
