1956 Quebec general election


The 1956 Quebec general election was held on June 20, 1956 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Quebec, Canada. The incumbent Union Nationale, led by Maurice Duplessis, won re-election, defeating the Quebec Liberal Party, led by Georges-Émile Lapalme.
This was the fifth and final time that Duplessis led his party to a general election victory. No party has since been able to win more than three elections in a row. Duplessis died in office in 1959.
It was Lapalme's second loss in a row as Liberal leader. The Liberals did not manage to improve on their performance in the previous 1952 election.
