Pierre Arcand (interim) Dominique Anglade The 2020 Quebec Liberal Party leadership election was to have taken place from May 30–31, 2020[1] after outgoing leader Philippe Couillard resigned on October 4, 2018, and left politics after the party finished second in the 2018 Quebec general election.

On March 20, 2020, the party suspended the election indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec.

The vote would be weighted to ensure equal regional representation by use of a points system: each of Quebec's 125 ridings would be worth 2,000 points, and the youth wing would be afforded 125,000, for a total of 375,000.
