The list of Quebec by-elections includes every by-election held in the Canadian province of Quebec since Confederation. By-elections occur whenever there is a vacancy in the National Assembly (known as the Legislative Assembly until 1968), although an imminent general election may allow the vacancy to remain until the dissolution of parliament .
Causes [ ]
A by-election occurs whenever there is a vacancy in the Quebec legislature. Vacancies can occur for the following reasons:
Death of a member.
Resignation of a member.
Voided results
Expulsion from the legislature.
Ineligibility to sit.
Appointment to the Legislative Council , Quebec's appointed upper house, which was abolished in 1968.
Appointment to the cabinet. Until 1927 incumbent members recontested their seats upon being appointed to Cabinet. These Ministerial by-elections were almost always uncontested.
