Twelve Liberal MLAs were returned by acclamation, including one on the Island of Montreal.[1] Taschereau himself was acclaimed in Montmorency, because of the alleged technical rejection of the Conservative candidate Lucien Drolet's nomination papers. Drolet would later sue the returning officer over this.[2]
The Liberals won back six of the Montreal seats they had lost in 1923.[1] There was a controversy in Montréal–Saint-Louis, where the Conservative candidate Louis Fitch claimed that he had been subject to false arrest on Election Day.[3]
Polling was deferred to May 23 in Gaspé.[3] This was because weather conditions caused the closure of many roads in the area.[4]
