Quebec general election, 1939
The Quebec general election of 1939 was held on October 25, 1939 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Quebec, Canada. The Quebec Liberal Party, led by former premier Adélard Godbout, defeated the incumbent Union Nationale, led by Maurice Duplessis.
This was Godbout's second (nonconsecutive term of office), and his only victory out of four consecutive general elections opposing Duplessis.
This election saw the return of the re-formed Action libérale nationale under Paul Gouin, who had split with Duplessis soon after the formation of the Union Nationale. However the ALN obtained only 4.5% of the vote and no seats, and disappeared from history. Also, a rump Quebec Conservative Party ran three candidates and got 0.2% of the vote and no seats, and the Conservatives also disappeared from the Quebec provincial political scene.
