It's municipal election day in Quebec. Here's what you need to know

Voting stations open today across Quebec as residents in over 1,100 municipalities choose their local leadership in municipal elections.

Although Élections Québec had warned of delays in mail delivery due to the contract dispute at Canada post, many voters should have received their voter information card by now.

The voter card lets you know when and where to vote and confirms if you are registered on the electoral list.

Citizens are reminded to check their eligibility, confirm their names on the voter list and bring proper identification to the polling station.

After the Oct. 3 deadline for municipal candidates to throw their hats into the ring, many were elected by acclamation.

Among them were at least 14 mayors in the greater Montreal area, including those of Kirkland and Dollard-des-Ormeaux.

In Montreal, with Valérie Plante stepping down after two terms, Montrealers are guaranteed to have a new mayor at the helm of Canada’s second largest city, which last year had a budget of $7.3 billion.

Advance polling and other voting methods have already taken place in many municipalities, with polls opening at 10 a.m. and closing at 8 p.m. today in most jurisdictions. 

Results will begin to be announced as ballots are counted. CBC will be live tonight starting at 8 p.m. on TV, radio and streaming online.

You can find our election coverage on CBC TV and CBC Radio One, or stream on CBC Gem, CBC Listen, YouTube or the CBC News Quebec streaming channel.
