This study of the Quebec general election of 1962 is undertaken in the conviction that "elections are of fundamental importance in any democratic society, constituting almost the only occasions when the power of the citizen is brought to b ear directly and formally upon his rulers.” General elections, in a democracy, decide who is to rule and on what terms; every general election, therefore, is a potential turning point in national history. For this reason, if for no other, psephology is an important part of political science. Elections have been analyzed in several ways, the researcher's choice of method depending upon his interests and purposes. This thesis is modeled upon the Nuffield College monographs on British general elections.
