The latest vote shown is 2021: the 2025 counts carry Elections Canada’s non-commercial terms. Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Montréal votes next on 4 November 2029. Provincially the last general election was on 5 October 2026, for the National Assembly of Québec; federally, on 28 April 2025.
