Voters in the Montreal borough of Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève will choose a new mayor in a byelection set for Dec. 17.

"After several weeks of reflection, I have come to the conclusion that I have reached my personal limit of what I can accomplish," he said on his Facebook profile page.
Côté was elected borough mayor in 2021.
The nomination period begins on Nov. 3 and ends on Nov. 17.
The candidate who is elected to the mayor's office will hold that position until November 2025, according to Élections Montréal.
