With Montreal election polling stations set to close at 8 p.m., the latest poll from Léger and the Journal de Montréal showed incumbent mayor Valérie Plante ahead of her opponents.

The poll, which reached 515 voters between November 3 and 4, had Valérie Plante leading rival Denis Coderre by five percentage points overall (including decided and undecided voters).

Plante was the favourite among 40% of respondents. Ensemble Montréal and Denis Coderre weren't far behind with 35% support.

Balarama Holness and the upstart Mouvement Montréal has support from 13% of poll respondents.

It's been a tight race right up to the end, with the mayoral candidates duking it out for the future of Montreal.
