There were independent and non-affiliated candidates in the 1998 Quebec provincial election, none of whom were elected. Information about these candidates may be found on this page.

Candidates

Mercier: Ann Farrell

Ann Farrell was a Humanist Party of Quebec candidate in two elections during the 1980s.[1] She later tried to re-establish the Humanist Party in Montreal, in a bid to run three candidates at the federal level in the 1997 Canadian election.[2] Farrell may have been an unofficial Humanist Party candidate in 1998.
