MONTREAL — Quebec City will follow Ottawa's lead by requiring all electors to show their faces before casting a ballot in elections.
Premier Jean Charest's government is expected to introduce legislation on Thursday to compel all voters — including veiled Muslim women — to uncover their faces to a polling station official.
The change will be enforced for provincial, municipal and school board elections.
Mr. Charest hopes to garner support from opposition parties to have the adjustment in place before two upcoming provincial by-elections.
