The 2024 Gatineau mayoral by-election will be held on June 9, 2024, to elect the 23rd mayor of Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, to serve the remainder of the 2021–2025 term following the resignation of mayor France Bélisle, who resigned effective immediately on February 22, 2024, citing a toxic political environment and death threats.[2][3]

Bélisle's successor will be the first mayor of modern Gatineau to be elected in a by-election and the first since Guy Lacroix's by-election victory in 1994 following the resignation of Robert Labine.

Resignation of France Bélisle and subsequent vacancy[edit]

Bélisle was first elected in the 2021 mayoral election, becoming the first female mayor of Gatineau. She called for a press conference on February 22, 2024, at 11:00 am to discuss her future in politics.[4] At the conference, which saw Mike Duggan, city councillor for Pointe-Gatineau District as the only other elected official in attendance,[5] she announced that she would not be forming a municipal political party nor team and that she would be resigning as mayor effective immediately.[6] Reactions from Quebec City Mayor Bruno Marchand, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante, Sherbrooke Mayor Évelyne Beaudin, and Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, among others, came in praising Bélisle for her openness and resilience, while some noted their sadness with the situation. Daniel Champagne, the incumbent city councillor for Versant District who was appointed as deputy mayor just days prior, was appointed to serve as mayor in accordance with the Cities and Towns Act.[7]

Rumours of a new party[edit]

As early as 2022, there have been rumours of a second political party forming in Gatineau ahead of the 2025 municipal election. This stems from arguments from Independent city councillors and commentators about the advantages that Action Gatineau has as a political party compared to candidates without party affiliation. The first of these rumblings came from city councillor for Buckingham District Edmond Leclerc, who in October 2022 mused with the idea of creating a political party alongside fellow city councillor Steven Boivin. In addition, then-Mayor Bélisle mused with the idea of forming a political party prior to her resignation from the mayoralty.[8] Former city councillor and the daughter of former mayor Marc Bureau, Audrey Bureau, was rumoured to be considering forming her own political party ahead of a potential candidacy in the by-election prior to her bowing out.[9][10][11][12][13]

By-election process[edit]

As Bélisle resigned with more than 12 months left in her term, according to the Act Respecting Elections and Referendums in Municipalities, a by-election must be held to replace her. The by-election must occur within four months of the notice of vacancy, within which the city clerk, who acts as chief electoral officer in municipal elections in Gatineau, must fix a Sunday as the by-election date. Candidates who are members of the city council at the time of filing their candidacy must also resign their position in order to run in the by-election.[14]

On February 27, 2024, city clerk Véronique Denis announced that the by-election would occur on June 9, 2024, and that advance voting would occur on June 2. The candidate nomination period will take place from April 26 to May 10. The city clerk's office estimated that the by-election would cost upwards of $2 million dollars.[1]

Campaign[edit]

The period prior to the campaign had been marred by various issues, particularly due to the abundance of independent candidates declaring their intent to run for the office, that there would be enough vote-splitting to allow the candidate for Action Gatineau, Maude Marquis-Bissonnette, to win the mayoralty. This ended up being the reason why certain candidates chose not to enter the race, including former 2017 mayoral candidate Sylvie Goneau.[49] Suggestions that there be an alliance formed among candidates have been quashed, with only Jacques Bélanger suggesting that he would be open to the idea of allying with another candidate who could see eye-to-eye with him on the issues that are affecting the city.[59] Bélanger would later drop out and rally behind Yves Ducharme.[25][26]
