November 3 2013
Municipal elections were held in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on November 3, 2013, as part of the 2013 Quebec municipal elections. Voters elected 65 positions on the Montreal City Council, including the mayor, borough mayors, and city councillors, as well as 38 borough councillors. Denis Coderre replaced interim mayor Laurent Blanchard, who was elected to replace the previous interim mayor, Michael Applebaum, who resigned due to 14 charges laid against him including fraud, conspiracy, breach of trust, and corruption in municipal affairs. Previous elected mayor Gérald Tremblay left office on November 5, 2012, after his party Union Montréal was suspected of corruption and mafia involvement. On July 2, 2013, Louise Harel, leader of the opposition Vision Montréal, announced she would not be running for mayor, instead supporting Marcel Côté.

Opinion polls
For mayor
Denis Coderre's support remained steady in public opinion polling during the campaign, while the other established "major" candidates – Marcel Côté and Richard Bergeron – largely failed to make an impression. Instead, a lesser-known candidate, Mélanie Joly, pulled ahead of both Côté and Bergeron in public opinion polling to emerge as the second-place contender by the time of the final published poll.
Denis Coderre confirmed polls before the election by winning the post of mayor of Montreal with 32.15% of votes and with a majority of 26,405 votes over Mélanie Joly, his closest rival.
His party, Équipe Coderre pour Montréal, gained 27 of the 65 seats within the city council. Meanwhile, Projet Montréal, led by Richard Bergeron, gained the status of official opposition by winning 20 seats. Marcel Côté's Coalition Montréal won only 6 seats and Mélanie Joly's Vrai changement pour Montréal won 4.
Composition of city and borough councils
Depending on their borough, Montrealers voted for:
Mayor of Montreal
Borough mayor (except in Ville-Marie, whose mayor is the Mayor of Montreal), who is also a city councillor
A city councillor for the whole borough or each district, who is also a borough councillor (Outremont and L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève have no city councillors other than the borough mayor)
Zero, one, or two additional borough councillors for each district

"A person may only run for one position, either mayor of the city, borough mayor, city councillor, or borough councillor. However, a person running for mayor of the city for an authorized party may also run, together with a second person called a 'co-candidate' (''colistier''), for city councillor. This does not include the position of borough mayor. If the candidate for mayor is elected and also obtains the largest number of votes for the position of city councillor, he or she becomes mayor of the city and the co-candidate becomes city councillor. If he or she is defeated for city but obtains the largest number of votes for city councillor, he or she becomes city councillor for the district or (in the case of Anjou and Lachine only) the borough instead of the co-candidate, unless he or she refuses the position in writing within 30 days after his or her election as city councillor is announced." - Élection Montréal.

Silès is a former director of the ''Societe de developpement social de Ville-Marie''. During the 2013 election, Denis Coderre described Silès as one of the three "pillars" of his party and promised to appoint him to the Montreal executive committee with responsibility for social development.
