End of recounts and confirmation of all elected officials

Montreal, November 21, 2025 – Following judicial recounts, Élections Montréal confirms the pending results of the November 2 elections, after completing the recount of some 95,000 ballots.

Ten requests for recounts were submitted and accepted by the Court of Quebec. In the ten races affected by a recount, all candidates who received the highest number of votes at the end of the Élections Montréal count were confirmed as the winners of the election. 

During a recount in the presence of attorneys representing the various parties, the examination of ballots may, in some cases, result in a reversal of the results. Both in 2021 (when six new counts were conducted) and in 2025, the opposite situation occurred in Montreal, with all those elected being confirmed. The court count helps to dispel any doubts that may remain after an election. 

The recount operation carried out over the past two weeks involved more than fifty Élections Montréal employees, several attorneys and representatives of political parties, as well as five judges and their respective clerks. The returning officer, Emmanuel Tani-Moore, thanked the Court of Québec and its staff for facilitating this large-scale operation, which concluded the 2025 election cycle.
