Provincially the last general election was on 5 October 2026, for the National Assembly of Québec; federally, on 28 April 2025. Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Québec votes next on 4 November 2029. Counts from April 2025 can’t appear here, since Elections Canada allows only non-commercial reuse of them.
