Malcolm G. Munroe was an Ontario political figure. He represented Elgin West in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Conservative member from January to July 1875.
Munroe was initially elected to the legislature in the Ontario general election, 1875. His election, however was later petitioned, on the basis that Munroe, who won the election by a mere ten votes, had votes by "people not qualified to vote", and that valid ballots for his opponent were disregarded.[1] The petition later proved to be successful in a decision made by the Ontario Elections court on June 24, 1875, elevating the election runner-up, Thomas Hodgins to the office and voiding the election results on July 7, 1875.[2][3][4]
