Electoral redistribution: No to the transfer of Soulanges municipalities

In recent weeks, the issue of redrawing the provincial electoral map has been the subject of much discussion, not least because of the proposal tabled by the Commission de la répartition électorale (CRE).

As the counties of Vaudreuil and Soulanges are experiencing population growth above the provincial average, changes are needed to ensure population equity between the two districts.

Accordingly, the CRE proposes to divide the City of Vaudreuil-Dorion and transfer part of it to the County of Soulanges. The municipalities of Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac and L'Île-Cadieux would also be transferred to Soulanges.

The CRE also suggests transferring the municipalities of Pointe-des-Cascades, Les Cèdres and Coteau-du-Lac to Beauharnois. 

Néomédia took an interest in the question, and asked you: What do you think of the redrawing of the provincial electoral map proposed by the Commission de la représentation électorale?

40.7% of respondents were against the idea of transferring the municipalities of Coteau-du-Lac, Les Cèdres and Pointe-des-Cascades to Beauharnois.

Nearly 30%, 29.6%, felt that creating a new riding in Vaudreuil-Soulanges would be the ideal solution.

In equal proportion, 11.1% of readers believe that a revision of the electoral law is necessary or are against the division of the City of Vaudreuil-Dorion.

Finally, 7.4% of respondents agreed with the CRE's preliminary proposal.
