Quebec political leaders make final pitch as election campaign nears end
Leaders are pressing undecided voters as the Parti Québécois defends its 2029 referendum pledge and rivals warn it could unsettle the economy.
- Quebec voters head to the polls this coming Monday, October 5, 2026, as leaders of the province's five main parties make final appeals to undecided voters over the weekend.

- On Friday, political rivals targeted Parti Qubcois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, arguing a referendum would cause economic harm and instability; he dismissed their claims as a "last-ditch effort" to win votes.
- About a quarter of Quebec's eligible voters cast ballots in advanced polls, indicating significant early participation as the final vote approaches.
- The Quebec Liberals, Quebec Conservatives, Quebec solidaire, and Coalition Avenir Qubec are all expected to secure seats when voters decide on Monday, though the Parti Qubcois leads in polling.
