Update: No Voting in Disguise in Quebec
LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS
In Quebec

Well, that certainly didn't take very long; the decision to allow Muslim women to vote in the Quebec election while wearing disguises has been reversed: Muslim women will have to remove face coverings to vote in Quebec election. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

QUEBEC (CP) - Muslim women will have to remove their face coverings if they want to vote in Monday's Quebec election.

Quebec's chief returning officer has reversed an earlier decision and is now telling Muslim women who wear a niqab to show their faces when they vote. Facing threats from ordinary citizens that they would show up at polling stations wearing masks, Marcel Blanchet said in Quebec City Friday that voting day must proceed without incident.
