The Taschereau riding in Quebec City features a crowded field ahead of the October 5, 2026, provincial election, with Québec solidaire incumbent Étienne Grandmont facing Liberal Farnell Morisset, CAQ candidate Brigitte Martin, Conservative Eliot Estévez-Verville, and PQ nominee Christian Savard. The race remains closely contested after the Parti québécois abruptly replaced Vincent Marissal—announced days before the writ—with Savard following an ethics controversy over Marissal’s use of a National Assembly housing allowance. Early projections show QS holding a narrow edge in a riding that has shifted among left-leaning parties in recent cycles, while the abbreviated campaign timeline and multiple viable contenders limit any single candidate’s separation in trader assessments. Scheduled nomination deadlines and ongoing party organization efforts through mid-September could still influence positioning before voting.
