Like every 4 years, this fall we’ll be electing our municipal representatives in Montreal. After a hot autumn, it’s time to get serious again and take the time to study each other’s candidacies.
On November 2, 2025, we’ll be voting for the city mayor, borough mayors, municipal councillors and city councillors.
Participating in municipal elections – or any elections – is a privilege, but it does take a little bit of work. Fortunately, we’ve got a guide for that!
