Number of seats won by major parties at each election

This article provides a summary of results for the general elections to the Canadian province of Quebec's unicameral legislative body, the National Assembly of Quebec (and its predecessor, the Legislative Assembly of Quebec). The number of seats has generally increased over time, from 65 for the first six elections, to the current high of 125.

The chart on the right shows the information graphically, with the most recent elections on the right. It shows that the Liberal party (red) is the only party to have won seats at every election; the disappearance of the Conservative party (blue) after 1935; the rise and fall of its replacement, the Union Nationale (green); and arrival of the separatist Parti Québécois (cyan) in the 1970s. The Liberal party have been the most successful in the province, winning twenty-one out of thirty-seven elections.

This article only covers elections since the Canadian confederation in 1867, when Quebec was created as one of the Canada's provinces. For Quebec's first 15 elections as Lower Canada from 1792 to 1840, see Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada. For the 8 joint elections of Ontario and Quebec as the Province of Canada, from 1840 to 1867, see list of elections in the Province of Canada.
