This was the fourth time (and the third in a row) that Duplessis led his party to a general election victory.

The number of seats won by the Liberals, and their share of the popular vote, were considerably increased over the previous election in 1948.

Of the 92 races, 56 were two-way contests between the two major parties: Henri Groulx (Montréal-Outremont) was the first candidate to learn that he had been reelected, but he died within an hour of hearing the news.

[2] Georges-Émile Lapalme, who had lost his campaign to take Joliette,[3] would subsequently win the Outremont byelection held on July 9, 1953.
