Quebec’s government has announced that a hotly contested byelection northeast of Montreal will take place Aug. 11.

The Arthabaska riding has been held by the Coalition Avenir Québec since 2012, but polls indicate the governing party is set to lose its stronghold to the Parti Québécois or Conservatives.
