The 2005 Magog municipal election was held on November 6, 2005, to elect a mayor and councillors in the city of Magog, Quebec. Marc Poulin was re-elected to a third term as mayor without opposition.
Michel Voyer is a businessperson in Magog. In the 1980s, he was president of the downtown association and the Chamber of Commerce. He is a Canadian federalist and supported the "Oui" side in the 1992 Canadian referendum on the Charlottetown Accord.[1] He served on the Magog Township council from 1995 until its merger with Magog in 2002, when he was elected for the new city's fifth ward.[2] He initially favoured the de-merger of Magog Township in 2004, but changed his mind following two provincial amendments to the new city of Magog's charter.[3] He was defeated in 2005 and later served on the board of Magog's business development corporation.[4]
