François Legault will seemingly serve a second term as premier, with all major news outlets officially projecting that his Coalition Avenir Québec party will win a majority of seats in the October 3 Quebec election.
The Parti Québécois, for decades the political engine of Quebec's sovereignty movement, has suffered a substantial defeat in the October 3 provincial elections, with their projected seat total of three.
As the October 3 election approaches, Quebec political parties are outlining their campaign aesthetics — the bright colours, glittering graphics and often generous headshot filters they'll use to attract voters like crows drawn to shiny garbage.

Ahead of the Quebec election, Premier François Legault is less popular than any other point since he entered the post in 2018, according to the latest Angus Reid Institute (ARI) poll of premier approval ratings. Only 43% of Quebecers polled in the September survey said they either approved (23%) or strongly approved (20%) of Legault's performance.
