The group that has flooded federal election ballots with candidates to run as a protest is now targeting the byelection in the Terrebonne riding in Quebec next month.

The Longest Ballot Committee, an activist group seeking electoral reform, said it is currently collecting signatures for candidates to run in the upcoming Terrebonne byelection. Prospective candidates have until March 23 to submit their paperwork.
