On September 27, 2026, Quebec opened its advance polling stations for the first day of the pre‑election voting period, allowing residents to cast ballots before the provincial election scheduled for Oct. 5.

The voting window runs from 9:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with five political parties on the ballot. This marks the start of a two‑day advance voting schedule that precedes the Oct. 5 election.

The initiative enables citizens to vote ahead of the official election day, providing additional flexibility for participation.
