No, it's not a false start, provincial election posters did start going up early Wednesday night.
All four parties had volunteers working across Quebec. In Montreal signs can be seen in Lachine, LaSalle, Verdun and Villeray, just to name a few.
Posters and billboards began popping up off-island in Laval, Île-Perrot and Longueuil as well.
While it may seem too early to be plastering candidate's faces all over town, CAQ candidate and former police officer Ian Lafrenière said it's being done above board.
"Actually the regulation, you've got to put them after sundown," he told CTV Montreal as he watched volunteers install his billboard in his riding of Vachon. "We want to make sure, because you know I used to be a police officer so I want to do everything by the rules."
They may be able to go up early, but all signs and posters have to be taken down within 15 days of voting day.
Premier Phillipe Couillard will visit the province's Lieutenant Governor and make it official today, kicking off a 39-day campaign ahead of the 42nd Quebec general election.
