Polls close on election day in municipalities across Quebec

MONTREAL - Polls have closed in most of Quebec's roughly 1,100 municipalities after voters turned out Sunday to elect their local leaders.

In Montreal, voters are choosing a new mayor to replace Valérie Plante, who announced last year she would not seek a third term. Plante first led her party, the left-leaning Projet Montréal, to form government in 2017.
