The 2026 Quebec general election was held on October 5, 2026, to elect members to the National Assembly of the 44th Quebec Legislature. Lieutenant Governor Manon Jeannotte dropped the writs of election on August 27, 2026,^[1] after Premier Christine Fréchette advised her to dissolve the legislature. Key issues of the election campaign included the cost of living, housing, Quebec sovereignty, infrastructure, protection of Quebec culture and the French language, U.S. tariffs, education, healthcare, the economy, and energy.^[2]

Fréchette led the governing Coalition Avenir Québec to a historic defeat, losing all 79 of their seats in an electoral wipeout, only the fourth time in Canadian history for a ruling party, joining the Prince Edward Island Conservatives in 1935, the United Farmers of Alberta in 1935, and the New Brunswick Progressive Conservatives in 1987. In terms of the number and percentage of seats lost, this far surpassed Richard Hatfield's 1987 loss as the worst defeat for a provincial government in Canadian history.^[3]

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon led the Parti Québécois to a massive rebound in popularity, jumping from 7 seats to 59, after having won just 3 in 2022. Plamondon became Premier-designate of Quebec, but fell short of a majority government that had been predicted by many pundits. The Quebec Liberal Party placed second with their highest seat count since 2014, while the Conservative Party of Quebec gained official party status for the first time since being founded in 2009, and the first time since 1935 that seats would be won under a Conservative party banner. Québec Solidaire dropped 2 seats from 11 to 9.

This was the first election in Quebec history where no party reached 30% of the popular vote, and the first since 1998 in which sovereigntist parties won a combined majority of seats in the National Assembly (the Parti Québécois and Québec Solidaire).

Background

In the 2022 general election, the Coalition Avenir Québec under François Legault increased its parliamentary majority, winning 90 seats. The Liberals, despite finishing fourth in the popular vote behind Québec solidaire and the Parti Québécois, remained the official opposition, winning 21 seats.^[4] The Parti Québécois lost most of its remaining seats but managed to elect its previously seatless leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon to a seat.^[5] The Conservatives increased their share of the vote to 13%; however, as their support was more spread out throughout Quebec, they did not gain any seats.^[6]

On January 14, 2026, Legault announced his pending resignation as leader of the CAQ and premier of Quebec.

Under the province's fixed election date law, passed in 2013, "the general election following the end of a Legislature shall be held on the first Monday of October of the fourth calendar year following the year that includes the last day of the previous Legislature",^[7] setting the date for October 5, 2026. On August 27, premier Fréchette visited the lieutenant governor of Quebec to advise her to dissolve the legislature and call a general election.

Ahead of the election, the CAQ officially changed its registration to Équipe Christine Fréchette - Coalition Avenir Québec.^[8]

Housing

Housing affordability is an important issue in the 2026 campaign. The shortage of affordable housing, rising rents and the construction of new housing have become significant concerns for municipalities and other organizations. Municipalities have called for greater support for the construction of affordable housing in order to address the housing shortage and improve access to affordable homes. All parties have proposed various housing plans.^[127]

Economy and cost of living

The economy and cost of living are prominent issues in the 2026 campaign. The Coalition Avenir Québec has made the cost of living and economic security among the main themes of its early campaign efforts.^[128]

Health care and public services

Health care is another major issue in the campaign. Issues raised by organizations in the health sector include access to primary care, the role of the private sector, working conditions and the governance of Santé Québec.^[129] Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has pledged to abolish Santé Québec.^[126] He later suggested that he would keep part of it as a division within the Ministry of Health.^[130]

Immigration and the French language

Immigration and the protection of the French language remain important issues in Quebec political debate. The planning of temporary and permanent immigration levels, as well as their effects on public services and linguistic integration, are among the issues being debated ahead of the 2026 election. Following a breakdown in negotiations during the 2025–2026 United States trade war with Canada, prime minister Mark Carney stated that the Americans made "threats to the French language" and "Quebec culture", and made efforts "to restrict our protections of our language, our culture, and in effect, our sovereignty", which helped spell "the end of this phase of the negotiations"; this was denied by Trump and his officials.^[131]

In addition, voting information mail from Élections Québec will be French-only, sparking criticism from some groups.^[132]

Quebec independence

The question of Quebec independence has returned to a prominent place in the campaign. Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon remains committed to holding a referendum during a first term in government, although he has stated that he would not hold one before January 20, 2029, when President of the United States Donald Trump is scheduled to leave office at the expiry of his second term. Plamondon claimed that too much political uncertainty would be created by holding a referendum while Trump remains in office.^[133] On September 9th, 2026, Plamondon pledged to hold a referendum on Quebec sovereignty even if the PQ did not get a majority government.^[134]

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke took issue with Parti Québécois lack of recognition of Indigenous rights in the blue book, their policy book.^[135] They pointed out that Quebec needs to consult indigenous communities if they wanted to pursue independence.^[135] On the same day, Plamondon revealed that, if Quebec voted yes on a referendum, a PQ government would adopt a temporary constitution where Indigenous support is not essential.^[136]

Debates

On June 23, 2026, it was announced that there would be no English debate during the election. This was the second consecutive election that the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) and Parti Québécois (PQ) declined to participate in a debate in English. Québec solidaire and the Conservative Party of Quebec had agreed to a debate.^[137]^[138]
