Premier René Lévesque QC PQ name René Lévesque Premier after election QC PQ name The 1981 Quebec general election was held on April 13, 1981, to elect members of the National Assembly of the Province of Quebec, Canada. The incumbent Parti Québécois, led by Premier René Lévesque, won re-election, defeating the Quebec Liberal Party, led by Claude Ryan. The PQ won re-election despite having lost the 1980 Quebec referendum on sovereignty-association, the party's proposal for political independence for Quebec in an economic union with the rest of Canada. To some extent, they were helped by Claude Ryan's old-fashioned campaign style: he refused to tailor sound bites for the evening news and ran a campaign generally unsuited for television coverage. Despite finishing only three per cent behind the PQ, the Liberals still finished a distant second, with 42 seats to the PQ's 80. Historically, provincial elections in Quebec produce large disparities between the popular vote and the actual seat count. The Union Nationale, which had won 11 seats in a modest comeback in the 1976 general election, was reduced to five seats at dissolution by numerous floor crossings, retirements and resignations. Among the departures was that of its leader in the 1976 election, Rodrigue Biron, who crossed the floor to the PQ. The once-proud party lost all of its remaining seats, never to return. The party essentially ended at this point, though it lingered in desultory fashion until 1989. Parti Québécois received its highest ever result with 49.26% of the vote. Redistribution of ridings A 1979 ActAn Act respecting electoral representation L.Q. 1979 57 https://www.bibliotheque.assnat.qc.ca/DepotNumerique_v2/AffichageFichier.aspx?idf=263510 provided for the creation of the Commission de la représentation électorale, charged with the task of the redistribution of riding boundaries for elections to the National Assembly. For its initial work, it had to create a sufficient number of ridings that would have an average of 34,000 electors.1979 Act, s. 3 In April 1980, the Commission increased the number of electoral districts from 110 to 122, effective with the next election: April 30, 1980 Avis de l'établissement de la liste des circonscriptions électorales Notice of the list of electoral constituencies French https://numerique.banq.qc.ca/patrimoine/details/52327/2360835 Gazette officielle du Québec (Partie 2) 122 21 0703-5721 Éditeur officiel du Québec Abolished ridings New ridingsDrawn from parts of other ridings Bertrandfrom parts of Chambly and Verchères Chapleaufrom parts of Papineau Groulxfrom parts of Terrebonne La Peltriefrom part of Chauveau Marquettefrom parts of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Marguerite-Bourgeoys and Jacques-Cartier Ungavafrom parts of Abitibi-Est and Abitibi-Ouest Vigerfrom parts of Viau and Jeanne-ManceReorganization of ridings Fabre Laval Mille-Îles Fabre Mille-Îles Chomedey Laval-des-Rapides Vimont Pontiac-Témiscamingue Rouyn-Noranda Pontiac Rouyn-Noranda–TémiscamingueDivision of ridings Joliette-Montcalm Joliette Rousseau Taillon Taillon Marie-Victorin VachonRenaming of ridings Nicolet-Yamaska Nicolet Laurentides-Labelle Labelle Pointe-Claire Nelligan a Campaign The Liberals and péquistes fielded full slates, while the Unionists decided not to run a candidate in the new riding of Ungava. The Parti national populaire ceased operations after its co-founder and only MNA Fabien Roy decided to leave the Legislature in 1979 for the federal level to lead the Social Credit Party of Canada. The Ralliement créditiste dissolved in 1978 when its leader Camil Samson created Les Démocrates, but that party failed to secure enough nominations for the coming election and thus dissolved in 1980. Samson would later join the Liberals, and would run as a candidate for that party in Rouyn-Noranda–Témiscamingue. Other disaffected créditistes opted to join the United Social Credit which had been revived by Jean-Paul Poulin. + Riding contests, by number of candidates (1981) CandidatesPQLibUNIndComm-WFOCLtnMLPCSUWorkersCommLSOTotal21 1 2348 48 48 144435 35 35 7 5 2 1 13 5 2 140514 14 14 4 5 5 6 5 2 1 70611 11 11 4 10 3 1 9 1 3 1 1 6676 6 6 3 6 6 3 3 2 1 4284 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 1 3291 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 9102 2 2 4 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 20Total122 122 121 27 33 12 10 40 16 10 10 2 525 Polling by Language +Date(s)FirmSampleQuebec Liberal PartyParti QuébécoisNational UnionOtherRef.FrancophonesAnglophonesAllophonesFrancophonesAnglophonesAllophonesFrancophonesAnglophonesAllophonesFrancophonesAnglophonesAllophonesApril 5, 1981 hide April 5, 1981Sorecom35%86%59%60%14%26%5%0%0%0%0%0%HTMLMarch 22, 1981 hide March 22, 1981Sorecom36%81%84%57%16%16%7%1%0%0%1%0%HTMLAugust 25, 1980 hide August 25, 1980Sorecom40%85%62%54%1%15%6%0%2%0%0%0%HTML Results All seats were won by either the PQ or the Liberals, and no other party received better than a third-place result.
