Rules differ across Canada The majority of provinces require voters to have lived there for six or more months before the election date, but only five provinces, including Quebec, require voters to prove domicile or ordinary residence. Beaulac said Quebecs domicile rule is nothing new. The rule was first codified in 1994, when Quebecs new civil code was enacted. But Beaulac says the requirement was an existing notion long before then. Province Requirements to vote Yukon Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old, lived in the Yukon for 12 months.
