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): Laviolette-Saint-Maurice 99.8%. Slivers under 3.0% ignored: Maskinongé 0.2%.
- Laviolette-Saint-Maurice: Élodie Murphy-Gauthier (PQ) elected with 12,142 votes, 31.35%, ahead of Charles Paquin (PCOQ, 27.4%) by 1,531 votes (3.95 points). No outgoing MNA ran in this riding (per Élections Québec's candidate file); the source does not say who held the seat before the 2026 map or whether they retired.
- 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 Laviolette-Saint-Maurice.
- Municipal council from Ville de Shawinigan's council page (https://www.shawinigan.ca/ville/conseil-municipal/conseillers-municipaux/, retrieved 2026-10-09) — Mayor + 10 district councillors; the Mayor from the city's Mot du maire page; matches the official results notice of 2025-11-03 (https://www.shawinigan.ca/affaires-municipales/2025/11/03/election-resultats-officiels-2/). No municipal party is printed on either page (party null / 'None'). Last municipal general election 2025-11-02 (confirmed in that notice). The record-level election field is left as the 2026 provincial election; council rows carry the 2025 municipal election. Emails are the official @shawinigan.ca addresses on each member's page.
