The Quebec Liberal Party now has a full slate of candidates – in all 125 ridings. They were the last party to fill their roster.
Quebec’s chief electoral officer had refused the candidacy of Harley Lounsbury in the riding of Matane-Matapédia.
The party legally challenged the decision and late Wednesday, the Superior Court of Quebec ruled in the Liberals favour.
“I am happy with the court’s decision, which confirms that we have indeed submitted 125 compliant candidate applications. This is a great victory for democracy. Liberal voters in Matane-Matapédia will be able to exercise their right to vote on October 3,” tweeted Leader Dominique Anglade after the decision.
Je suis heureuse de la décision de la cour qui vient confirmer que nous avons bel et bien déposé 125 candidatures conformes. C'est une belle victoire pour la démocratie. Les électeurs libéraux de Matane-Matapédia vont pouvoir exercer leur droit de vote le 3 octobre prochain.
