A by-election will be held on April 13, 2026, to elect a member of Parliament (MP) to represent Terrebonne, Quebec, in the House of Commons for the remainder of the 45th Parliament after the riding's result in the 2025 general election was annulled by the Supreme Court of Canada on February 13, 2026, vacating the seat held by the then-Liberal Party MP Tatiana Auguste. [1]

Contents

Background

The 2025 federal election result in Terrebonne was contested by the Bloc Québécois candidate, defeated MP Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, after a judicial recount awarded the seat to Liberal candidate Tatiana Auguste by one vote. The result was challenged due to a printing error by Elections Canada on a return envelope for mail-in ballots which resulted in an envelope containing a vote for the Bloc Québécois candidate being returned to sender. The Supreme Court of Canada overturned a lower court decision and annulled the result, vacating the seat and requiring a by-election. [1]

Timing

A writ for the by-election could be issued no sooner than February 27 and no later than August 1, 2026. [2] Under the Canada Elections Act , the minimum length of a campaign is 36 days between dropping the writ and election day, but must not exceed 50 days. The by-election must also be held on a Monday within that time frame. [3] Accordingly, the earliest possible date for the by-election was April 6 and the latest was September 28. [2]

On March 8, the writ was issued for a by-election to be held on April 13. [4] [5] [6]

Preparation

After reviewing its internal procedures, Elections Canada announced that, to avert the possibility of misdirected ballots in future, special ballots will no longer be manually prepared by a riding office, but will be centrally and automatically prepared at its Ottawa office. However, the change was not expected to be fully implemented until the fall. [7]

Auguste and Sinclair-Desgagné had already been confirmed as candidates before the by-election was called. [8]

Conservative Adrienne Charles's repeat of her 2025 candidacy was announced on March 11. [9]
