Beauce (provincial electoral district)

Beauce is a provincial electoral district in Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Chaudière-Appalaches region.

The district was created in 1867, coinciding with the establishment of Quebec as a province of Canada. Its boundaries have been modified several times over the years to account for population changes and demographic shifts within the region. Historically, Beauce has been considered a stronghold for conservative or right-leaning political parties.

The geography of Beauce is characterized by agricultural lands and forests. The economy of the area is heavily reliant on agriculture, manufacturing, and forestry industries. The population is primarily French-speaking.

The Member of the National Assembly (MNA) representing Beauce is elected in general elections held approximately every four years, unless an election is called earlier. The MNA is responsible for representing the constituents of Beauce in the Quebec National Assembly and advocating for their interests.

The electoral boundaries and composition of Beauce are subject to periodic review and adjustment by the province's electoral commission to ensure fair representation based on population figures.
