The leaders of Quebec’s five main political parties, including the separatist Parti Québécois (PQ) and Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), made their final pitches to undecided voters over the weekend ahead of a provincial election on October 5, 2026. PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has been leading in polls throughout the campaign and promised a sovereignty referendum by 2029. Despite skepticism from opponents who argue that referendums cause political instability and harm the economy, St-Pierre Plamondon urges voters to support his party for a majority government to implement change after eight years of CAQ rule. About one quarter of eligible voters had already cast ballots in advance polls.
