[suite] (3) Le fonctionnaire désireux de se porter ou d’être choisi comme candidat peut demander à la Commission un congé non payé pour une période se terminant le jour de la proclamation des résultats de l’élection ou, à sa demande, à toute date antérieure marquant la fin de sa candidature. Nonobstant toute autre loi, la Commission peut accorder un tel congé si elle estime que la candidature du fonctionnaire ne nuira pas par la suite à son efficacité, pour la fonction publique, dans le poste qu’il occupe alors.
