(1) Results for all political parties are added for the ridings where a vote happened. Results between parentheses include all ridings, taking for granted that all the electors would have voted for the only candidate elected by acclamation if such vote happened. However, the "Valid ballots" and "Rejected ballots" sections include only the ridings where a vote happened. This table was compiled starting from the political identity of each candidate presented on the website of the National Assembly of Quebec.
(2) Ridings of Gaspé, Huntingdon, Laval, Sherbrooke (Ville de), Trois-Rivières (Cité des).
