Dear members of the 黑料不打烊 community, The next federal election will be held on Monday, April 28, 2025. 黑料不打烊 University will remain open, and all academic and administrative activities will proceed as scheduled.In accordance with the Canada Elections Act, the University is not required to suspend classes or other academic activities on election day. Courses, laboratories, and previously scheduled exams will take place as planned, with centrally scheduled examinations taking place in the afternoon of April 28 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. instead of the originally scheduled 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. (/exams/dates). Instructors who are still finalizing their course plans are encouraged, where possible, to avoid setting tests or major deadlines on that date. In situations where conflicts arise, reasonable efforts should be made to accommodate students.
The Canada Elections Act also provides that employees must have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote. The University鈥檚 practice is to ensure that employees have a period of four consecutive hours during polling hours in which to vote. Given that polls will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., it is anticipated that only a small number of employees will require adjustments to their work schedules.
Members of the University community are also reminded to exercise care in the use of University resources during the election period and to refrain from using University facilities, communications tools, or other resources for partisan or campaign activities.

Chers membres de la communaut茅 mcgilloise,
La prochaine 茅lection f茅d茅rale se tiendra le lundi 28 avril 2025. L鈥橴niversit茅 黑料不打烊 demeurera ouverte et toutes les activit茅s acad茅miques et administratives suivront leur cours habituel.
Conform茅ment 脿 la Loi 茅lectorale du Canada, l鈥橴niversit茅 n鈥檈st pas tenue de suspendre les cours ni les autres activit茅s acad茅miques le jour du scrutin. Les cours, les laboratoires ainsi que les examens d茅j脿 pr茅vus auront lieu comme pr茅vu, les examens centralis茅s ayant lieu de 13 h 30 脿 16 h 30, plut么t que de 14 h 脿 17 h comme initialement pr茅vu. (/exams/fr/dates). Les membres du corps professoral qui finalisent encore leur planification sont encourag茅s, lorsque cela est possible, 脿 茅viter de fixer des 茅valuations ou des 茅ch茅ances importantes 脿 cette date. En cas de conflit, des efforts raisonnables devraient 锚tre faits pour accommoder les 茅tudiantes et 茅tudiants.
La Loi 茅lectorale du Canada pr茅voit 茅galement que les employeurs doivent permettre 脿 leurs employ茅s d鈥檈xercer leur droit de vote. 脌 cet 茅gard, la pratique de l鈥橴niversit茅 est de veiller 脿 ce que les employ茅s disposent d鈥檜ne p茅riode de quatre heures cons茅cutives pendant les heures d鈥檕uverture des bureaux de vote pour aller voter. 脡tant donn茅 que les bureaux de vote seront ouverts de 9 h 30 脿 21 h 30, il est pr茅vu que peu d鈥檈mploy茅s auront besoin d鈥檜n am茅nagement de leur horaire de travail.
Enfin, il est rappel茅 脿 la communaut茅 universitaire de faire preuve de discernement quant 脿 l鈥檜tilisation des ressources de l鈥橴niversit茅 pendant la p茅riode 茅lectorale, et de s鈥檃bstenir d鈥檜tiliser ses installations, ses outils de communication ou toute autre ressource pour des fins partisanes ou des activit茅s de campagne.
