The 2023 Jean-Talon provincial by-election was held on October 2, 2023. This was triggered following the resignation of CAQ MNA Joëlle Boutin. The Parti Québécois candidate Pascal Paradis won the election.
The PQ win is notable for two reasons: PQ had never before won the riding of Jean-Talon and this also marked their first win at a by-election since 2016.
Jean-Talon is a constituency in Quebec City and was once a Liberal stronghold before being taken by the CAQ in a 2019 by-election.
An issue during the by election was the Coalition Avenir Québec government of François Legault cancelling a tunnel project in Quebec City.
22 per cent of eligible voters cast early ballots on 24 and 25 September.
