In the days following the release of the November 6-7 general election vote count, six petitions for recounts were filed with the Court. These requests concern the following elected positions and boroughs:<\/p>\n\n\n

On November 17, Judge Sylvain Coutlée of the Court of Québec authorized a judicial recount for the four positions in the Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles and Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce boroughs. These recounts will begin on Monday, November 22, 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motions concerning the boroughs of Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Outremont have not yet been decided by the Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
