Montreal municipal election, 1990

The 1990 Montreal municipal election took place on November 4, 1990, to elect a mayor and city councillors in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Jean Doré was elected to a second term as mayor by a significant margin.

All mayoral candidates were also permitted to run for seats on council in tandem with "co-listed candidates." In this manner, all unsuccessful candidates had the right to serve on council by assuming the seat of their co-lister (provided, of course, that the co-lister was elected).

Elections were also held in Montreal's suburban communities.

All of the councillors listed above, except for Armand Nadeau, were members of the Montreal North city council during both the 1986–90 and 1994–98 terms. Given the overwhelming dominance of the Renouveau municipal party in Montreal North and the generally low rates of council turnover in this period, it may be safely assumed that all were elected in 1990. Nadeau served on the 1986–90 council, and in 1994 his ninth district seat was won for the first time by James Infantino. The most probable explanation is that Nadeau was re-elected in 1990 and stood down in 1994.
