The former city of Fabreville was divided among two sectors.
Prior to the 2013 elections, all 21 councillors has been associated with the Parti PRO des Lavallois, the municipal political party of mayor Gilles Vaillancourt.[4] Following Vaillancourt's resignation as mayor on November 9, 2012,[5] the councillors voted to dissolve the party on November 19, 2012, and sat as independents.[4]
Following Vaillancourt's resignation, councillor Basile Angelopoulos served as the city's acting mayor[6] until council selected Alexandre Duplessis, the former councillor for District 15 (Saint-Martin), as the new mayor on November 23.[7] Angelopoulos again undertook the responsibilities of pro-mayor upon Duplessis' resignation on June 28, 2013, until Martine Beaugrand, the former councillor for District 20 (Fabreville) was acclaimed as the city's new mayor on July 3, 2013.
