After 1884 voters in county and borough seats had the same franchise so the distinction was now less important; however a distinction between urban and rural areas was retained for calculating maximum permitted election expenses on the grounds that borough seats required the candidates to undertake less traveling.
In 1888 boroughs were divided into two sorts: county boroughs with powers similar to those of counties, and the ordinary municipal boroughs.
In Quebec, the term borough is used as the English translation of the French arrondissement, meaning an administrative division of a major city.
