Advance polling for four Quebec by-elections will take place on Sunday and Monday.

The vote itself will take place on Dec. 5 as the National Assembly will fill vacant seats in the ridings of St-Jerome, Marie-Victorin, Verdun and Arthabaska.

The seats were left vacant after the resignations of former Parti Quebecois leader Pierre Karl Peladeau, former PQ MNA Bernard Drainville, former Liberal cabinet minister Jacques Daoust and the death of independent MNA Sylvie Roy, respectively.

A total of 38 candidates are running in the four by-elections, with 215,000 Quebecers eligible to vote.
