The1935 Quebec general electionwas held on November 25, 1935, to elect members of theLegislative Assemblyof the Province ofQuebec,Canada. The incumbentQuebec Liberal Partyled byLouis-Alexandre Taschereauwas re-elected, defeating theAction libérale nationale,led byPaul Gouin,and theQuebec Conservative Party,led byMaurice Duplessis.
It was the fourth and final general election victory in a row for Taschereau, who had held office since 1920. He resigned less than seven months later due to a scandal.
TheAction libérale nationale(ALN) was a newly formed party led by the son of former Liberal premierLomer Gouin.It was established by former Liberals who had become dissatisfied with the party. The ALN and Conservatives formed an alliance, theUnion Nationale,to contest this election. They merged after the election to become a single party, which soon became a dominant political force.

Controversy in Terrebonne
[edit]InTerrebonne,the election ofAthanase Davidwas contested on the ground that the ballot papers were not printed in the form prescribed under theElection Act.At the subsequent hearing, the judge ruled that all cast ballots were declared void. Immediately afterwards, the returning officer announced that, as this resulted in a 0-0 tie, he cast his deciding vote in favour of David.[4][5]

---|---|---|---|---|
Liberal | Athanase David | 4,893 | 1 | |
Conservative | Hermann Barrette | 4,170 | – | |
Majority | 720 | 1 |
The returning officer's action was considered to have been without precedent anywhere in the world in countries with parliamentary-style legislatures.[8]The Conservatives lodged an appeal,[8]but the result was upheld by theQuebec Court of Appealin April 1936.[9]David would become the only member of the Assembly in Quebec history to be elected on only one cast vote.[10]
