Municipal Elections

Elections are held every four years in more than 1,100 Quebec municipalities to fill some 8,000 elected positions. They represent the population and defend your interests in order to provide services that meet your needs.

The electors of the City of Westmount will be asked to elect a new Council for a four-year term. The territory of our municipality is divided into eight electoral districts. Every elector will be asked to elect not only Westmount’s Mayor but also the councillor for his or her own district.

The Electoral List

The City of Westmount’s electoral list is constituted from the list of domiciled electors entered on the permanent electoral list of Québec. However, the Returning Officer may add to that list the names of persons entitled to be entered as the owners of an immovable or as the occupants of a business establishment up until a deadline which will be announced in the lead up to the elections.

Revision of the List

A notice indicating, for every address, the name of electors entered on the electoral list as well as the place, days and times of revision of the electoral list will be sent to every address in the territory of the City of Westmount in the weeks leading up to the vote. If the details on that notice are incomplete or inaccurate, the elector should appear before the board of revisors and apply for entry, correction or striking, as the case may be.

The board of revisors will sit at Westmount City Hall situated at 4333 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest:
