Voting stations are open across Quebec for municipal elections, where residents are choosing local leaders despite potential mail delivery delays. Many voters should have received their voter information cards, confirming registration and polling locations. With the departure of Montreal’s mayor Valérie Plante, the city will see a new leader, while 568 mayoral and 4,034 municipal council seats have been filled by acclamation. Voter turnout is estimated at around 17%, potentially impacted by transit strikes, as citizens are encouraged to check their eligibility and bring identification to the polls.
