Saint-Jean (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒɑ̃] ⓘ) is a provincial electoral district in the Montérégie region of the province of Quebec.
It was created for the 1867 election (and an electoral district of that name existed earlier in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada).
As a consequence of a tie in the number of votes between Michel Charbonneau (PLQ) and Roger Paquin (PQ), no candidate is declared a winner.
[5] Even though Saint-Jean voters, since 2007, have selected some candidates forming the opposition party, the media sometimes still refer to it as a bellwether district.
[6] Other provincial districts that are sometimes considered as bellwether include[3] Terrebonne (Lanaudière), Trois-Rivières[7] (Mauricie), and Chauveau (Capitale-Nationale).
