The Quebec Election and Referendum Act provides for the possibility of requesting the Court to recount ballots following an initial count. Ten requests for recounts were submitted to the Court following the general election on November 2. To date, the Court has granted seven recounts.
The recount process began on November 13 at the Montreal Courthouse. The initial recounts led to a new examination of the ballots for the election of borough councilors for the Jacques-Bizard district (Judge Yves Hamel), city councilors for the Côte-des-Neiges district (Judge Gilles Lareau), and city councilors for the Saint-Jacques district (Judge Scott Hugues).
Closely supervised by the Court of Quebec, this procedure confirmed the plurality of votes announced by Elections Montreal following the election. The three elected individuals were sworn into office on November 13 in the early evening.
In addition, on November 14, the Court recounted the ballots cast in the election for the position of councilor for the Parc-Extension district (Judge Yves Hamel). This recount also confirmed the election of the person declared to have obtained a plurality of votes after the initial count by Élections Montréal.
The recounts granted by the Court will continue next week.
Once the votes have been counted at the Court, Élections Montréal will release the final results and update the data for the 2025 general election.
Earlier today, Élections Montréal published the official results of the 103 elections held on November 2, 2025. This publication follows the voting in all boroughs of the Ville de Montréal, the counting of ballots on the evening of November 2, and the webcast of preliminary results as they were counted and compiled.
Once the official election results have been published, a four-day period begins during which any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that ballots have been incorrectly counted or compiled may file a request for a recount with the Court.
