Montreal’s Municipal Election – October 28, 2021

October 28, 2021

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

A web survey was conducted among 600 respondents 18 years of age or older who are eligible to vote in the city of Montreal.

The data was collected from October 21 to October 26, 2021.

No margin of error can be associated with a non-probability sample (web panel in this case). However, for comparative purposes, a probability sample of 600 respondents would have a margin of error of ±4%, 19 times out of 20.

The results were weighted according to gender, age, mother tongue, borough, education and presence of children in the household in order to ensure a representative sample of the Montreal population.
