The 2025 Trois-Rivières municipal election will take place on November 2, 2025, to elect a mayor and city councillors in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. The election will be held in conjunction with municipal elections held across Quebec on that date.
Background
[edit]Jean Lamarche was elected mayor for the first time in a by-election on May 5, 2019[1] to succeed Yves Lévesque, who resigned on December 27, 2018, citing health reasons.[2] He won the by-election with 54.9% of the vote, defeating Jean-François Aubin (33.5%), Éric Lord (10.7%) and Pierre-Benoît Fortin (0.9%) to become only the second-ever mayor of the city in its current amalgamated form. He was re-elected in 2021 with an increased majority of 61.49% against Valérie Renaud-Martin (37.00%) and Gilles Brodeur (1.52%).[3] On December 18, 2024, Lamarche announced that he would not seek re-election as Mayor, citing politics as a "poison that destroys lives."[4]
As of April 2025, only two municipal political parties in the city are registered with Élections Québec: Action Trois-Rivières, led by Jean-Claude Ayotte, and Trois-Rivières Ville Forte, led by city councillor Pascale Albernhe-Lahaie. However, Action Trois-Rivières has not yet received any applications for the position of mayor, which the party hopes to fill by April 2025. The party's candidate would be elected among party members to concurrently serve as party leader, meaning there would be a leadership race should several candidates put their names forward.[5]
Trois-Rivières was initially slated to be one of 21 Quebec municipalities selected to participate in the Internet voting pilot project for the 2025 municipal election cycle. Élections Québec ultimately postponed the project, as the selection process for a viable firm to implement the pilot project was unsuccessful; the selection criteria had a high standard to guarantee the voting process's integrity.[6]
