Summary
Bill 199, introduced by Alexandre Leduc, MNA for Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, is a private member's bill that aims to create a new electoral system for Quebec's National Assembly. The current system in Quebec is a first-past-the-post system, and this bill proposes to change how votes are counted and how seats are assigned, though the specific details of the new system are not fully described in the available text. The bill was introduced during the 43rd Legislature, 2nd Session, and passed its introduction stage on November 12, 2025, with a unanimous vote of 105 in favour, 0 against, and 0 abstentions. This is a provincial bill from Quebec's National Assembly, not the federal Parliament of Canada, and would only affect how provincial elections in Quebec are conducted.
