This page contains all the information required to understand the significant work involved in the delimitation of Québec’s electoral map.
Every two general elections, the delimitation of electoral divisions must be reviewed to ensure the effective representation of electors at the Assemblée nationale. The Commission de la représentation électorale (CRE) is mandated to review this delimitation. The CRE publishes its preliminary report, which contains its proposal for the delimitation, before hearing from citizens, MNAs and organizations concerned during public hearings.

A courtesy translation is available on request.
One electoral division is added in the greater Laurentides and Lanaudière region, and another in the greater Estrie and Centre-du-Québec region. As a counterpart, one electoral division is withdrawn from the eastern part of Île-de-Montréal, and another from the greater Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region. These short videos present the various reasons behind our proposal (in French).
The geographic data obtained through the interactive map will be used to sustain the delimitation proposal of the Commission de la représentation électorale. This data will be kept until the next electoral map is adopted.
