Quebec election 2026: live results

From the moment polls close at 8 p.m. on October 5, this page carries the live count across all 127 ridings: votes, polls reporting, seats, and our race calls the moment they are safe enough to publish. Bookmark it; until then, here is what will happen here and where the race stands.

The first results arrive on Monday, October 5 at 8 p.m., when polls close. Bookmark this page: it will update on its own.

How the night unfolds

  1. 8:00 p.m.

    Polls close

    Élections Québec begins publishing results poll by poll. The official source refreshes every two to five minutes; this page follows the same cadence.

  2. 8:15 p.m.

    The first boxes

    A lead of a few hundred votes means nothing yet. Polling stations are not alike, and the order they report in manufactures mirages — this is the hour of the night when raw numbers mislead most.

  3. Throughout

    The calls

    The moment a riding clears our certainty threshold, it is called and changes colour on the map. Close races wait, sometimes for a long time.

  4. Late night

    The full picture

    The count riding by riding, the composition of the National Assembly, and the gap between our pre-election projection and the actual result.

When do we call a winner?

Being ahead in the count is not enough. We only call a winner when nothing left to count can change the result in that riding.

  • Called

    The lead can no longer be overtaken with the polls still to count: the riding is called and changes colour.

  • Too close

    When it comes down to a few hundred votes, we wait. Better late than wrong.

  • Checked

    Every call is reviewed by a person before it appears on the page.
