The MMP simulator can be run on all the general elections in this jurisdiction.

“Acc?” stands for missing data (namely races entered as having been won by acclamation when in fact the results are unknown), while “Minis.” shows the number of ministerial by-elections.

A small handful of by-elections that did not really occur was added to this database to record when someone’s election was overturned and the seat was handed over to the challenger who had lost.

Up until the middle of the 20th century, unseating a member was commonplace and the mechanism to challenge someone’s election seems to have been very lax when viewed through presentist lens, as many by-elections were held merely because the challenger — often the government or the defeated incumbent — did not like the result. What’s more, newly appointed ministers had to resign and run in a ministerial by-election. Therefore, by-elections were far more frequent than they are today.

So far, there have been 43 general elections in Québec from 1867 to 2022.

By default, these summaries are presented in descending chronological order. For you convenience, this sorter allows you to reverse the chronology.

 IND . Note on Independents.
“Independent” is not a political party, nor is “Independent Liberal” or “Independent Conservative.” Therefore, results for such candidates are treated individually. Furthermore, throughout this website, “Independent” includes candidates whose political allegiance was “No affiliation” or unspecified.

 OTH . Note on Others.
Minor or ephemeral political parties or families, as well as unofficial political banners (e.g., “Independent Liberal”), have been collapsed under “Other.”
