Quebec's Court of Appeal orders electoral map redrawing for 2026 election

Quebec's Court of Appeal ruled that electoral map redrawing is required for the 2026 election, deeming Law 59 unconstitutional. The court's decision mandates an urgent revision of electoral districts, overturning a previous agreement by political parties to maintain current boundaries until 2030. This ruling follows a legal challenge by the Council of Prefects and Elected Officials of the Laurentides region, impacting potential changes proposed by the Electoral Representation Commission.
