Book excerpt: "While Quebec is well known for its provincial level party politics and thriving nationalism, voting behaviour and electoral campaigning at the municipal level have failed to gain much attention to date. Voting in Quebec Municipal Elections seeks to transform the state of municipal elections research in Quebec through a systematic study of the 2017 Montreal and Quebec City elections. Drawing upon data from the Canadian Municipal Election Study, the authors demonstrate not only the importance of Quebec municipal politics, but the many ways that municipal elections research can inform our broader understanding of voting behaviour in the province. This volume considers features particular to the Quebec local context, such as the importance of language and nationalism, the effects of local party labels for down ballot races, and the role of ideology. Voting in Quebec Municipal Elections represents the largest ever collection of work on local elections in the province's history, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the municipal voter in Quebec."--
