2005 Quebec municipal elections

← 2003 November 6, 2005 (2005-11-06) 2009 →

The municipalities in Quebec for the 2005 election were different from the previous 2001 election, as many municipalities had voted to de-amalgamate.

Every municipality in Quebec held elections except Port-Cartier, Thetford Mines, Sept-Îles and in the village and parish of Saint-Georges-de-Cacouna (they were held in 2006).

In addition to the municipalities, the prefects of 8 regional county municipalities were elected:

• Kamouraska
• La Haute-Gaspésie
• La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau
• Le Granit
• Le Haut-Saint-François
• Les Basques
• Les Pays-d'en-Haut
• Témiscouata
