   I'm going to guess that a whole lot of those in Florida for the winter   
   are jewish Quebecers.  Always have been.   
   I'm going to guess that those in France are dual citizens - both   
   Canadian and French.   
   I'm going to guess that those in the UK are working there for various   
   Quebec companies.   
   I'm going to guess that this doesn't look good for the Parti Quebecois   
   vote . . . .

   A total 18,273 people have registered to vote by correspondence.   
      
   Quebec's Chief Electoral Officer Jacques Drouin said the province hasn't   
   seen that many out-of-province voters in a general election in the past   
   25 years.   
      
   According to Drouin, the majority of those people — 75 per cent — are in   
   Florida, a popular winter vacation destination for Quebec seniors.   
      
   Among the out-of-province voters, there is representation on every   
   continent in the world, and in 117 different countries including:   
      
        More than 13,600 people in Florida.   
      
        624 in France.   
      
        238 in the United Kingdom.   
      
   The former record was set in 1998, when 16,606 people registered to vote   
   by correspondence.   
      
   Quebecers are eligible to vote by correspondence if they have been   
   living outside of Quebec for no more than two years.   
      
   Government workers stationed outside of Quebec are also eligible,   
   without the two-year constraint.   
      
   The deadline to apply to register to vote by mail has already passed.
