13 members and how they were elected

One team won seats, Parti virage; everyone else on council ran alone. The mayor answers to all of Rouyn-Noranda; every councillor represents a district. With no rival, Gilles Chapadeau took the mayor’s chair by acclamation.

Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Rouyn-Noranda votes next on 4 November 2029. Voters last chose the National Assembly of Québec on 5 October 2026 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.

Election dates: the legislatures, MMAH and MAMH

Every one of them sends a separate MNA to the National Assembly of Québec, and each covers part of Rouyn-Noranda. The Répertoire gives the ridings but not how many residents each holds, so no shares are shown.
