Notes on this record

How the lists were read, and what could not be.

  • Ridings covering the municipality (share of its land area on a sample grid, not population — Represent census subdivision outline vs Élections Québec's 2026 riding map): Rivière-du-Loup–Témiscouata–Les Basques 99.7%.
  • Rivière-du-Loup-Témiscouata-Les Basques: Ariane Boyer (PQ) elected with 12,745 votes, 35.29%, ahead of Louise Moreault (PCOQ, 23.0%) by 4,439 votes (12.29 points). Outgoing MNA Amélie Dionne (ÉCF-CAQ) ran here and was defeated, placing 3 of 6 with 19.69%.
  • Results are validated: Source flags isResultatsFinaux=true for all 127 ridings (official results after the recensement des votes), last updated 2026-10-08T10:13:52,000-04:00. Élections Québec states the Rapport des résultats officiels du scrutin prevails over web content; judicial recounts, if any, are not reflected here.
  • Riding map: Élections Québec's 2026 map (https://donnees.electionsquebec.qc.ca/autres/geojson/circ_2026_sanseau.json, 127 ridings). Represent (represent.opennorth.ca) carries only the 2017 Quebec map (used in 2018 and 2022); its 2017 riding at this centre is Rivière-du-Loup-Témiscouata.
  • Municipal council from Ville de Rivière-du-Loup's 'Conseil municipal' page (https://villerdl.ca/fr/ville/vie-democratique/conseil-municipal, retrieved 2026-10-09; photos filed under 'conseil_2025-2029'): mayor + 6 district councillors. The page prints no office titles beyond 'Maire de la ville' and the district names; Conseiller/Conseillère supplied by gender of the printed first name. Last municipal general election 2025-11-02 per the city's 'Élections 2025' page (https://villerdl.ca/fr/ville/vie-democratique-1/elections-2025-4), which lists Beaulieu, Samson, Thériault and Vignet as elected by acclamation; district numbers are from Élections Québec's results file. No municipal party printed (party null). Emails are the official district/mairie role addresses @villerdl.ca. Record-level election field left as the 2026 provincial election.
  • Cross-checked against Élections Québec's official 2025-11-02 general-election results (https://www.electionsquebec.qc.ca/resultats-et-statistiques/resultats-election-municipale/MUN_12072/17605/; data https://donnees.electionsquebec.qc.ca/production/municipal/scrutin/MUN_12072/17605.json, results FINAUX): every sitting member matches the declared winners; party field from that file (blank = no party).
