The Quebec general election of 1960 was held on June 22, 1960 to elect members of the National Assembly of Quebec Legislative Assembly of Quebec , Canada . It was one of the most significant elections in Quebec history, rivalled perhaps only by the Quebec general election, 1976 1976 general election . The incumbent Union Nationale Quebec Union Nationale , led by Antonio Barrette , was defeated by the Quebec Liberal Party , led by Jean Lesage . The 1960election set the stage for the Quiet Revolution R volution Tranquille , a major social transformation of all aspects of Quebec society throughout the 1960s. Among many other changes, the influence and power of the Catholic church fell sharply as Quebec became a secular society. This election put an end to 16 years of continuous Union Nationale rule, much of it under Maurice Duplessis . Duplessis had died in 1959. His successor, Paul Sauv , initiated a hundred days of change that began to transform Quebec society after a long era of conservatism under Duplessis. The Duplessis period was later derisively referred to as La Grande Noirceur the Great Darkness . Sauv died suddenly after only a few months in office. The Union Nationale was thus in disarray when it went into an election under its second new leader Barrette in less than a year.
