Please note that the winner of an election does not instantly become the incumbent holder of the office the moment their election victory is announced — that is not how politics works. Rather there's a transition period first, during which the outgoing mayor is still the incumbent mayor. That transition period can be anywhere from a week to a couple of months, depending on the rules and regulations of the place where the election is taking place, but there's no political office anywhere on the planet for which the winner of the election takes the office right away without that transition period happening first.

We have the ability to add Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin to the infobox as a mayor-elect, which I've done, but he doesn't become the incumbent mayor until he's actually sworn into office. Bearcat (talk) 18:15, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
