The party Option Capitale-Nationale appeared in previous municipal elections as the municipal wing of Option nationale, a progressive sovereigntist party.

Like its provincial counterparts, Transition Québec focuses on issues of environmental sustainability, Left-wing solidarity, and feminism.

On February 15, 2021, a new political party joined the election. Bruno Marchand, former director of the United Way of Canada in the Capitale-Nationale, Chaudière-Appalaches and Bas-Saint-Laurent regions, was named as party leader. The party supported Quebec City Tramway project of Mayor Labeaume's administration, but withheld judgement on a possible third line between Québec City and Lévis until it was officially announced by the government. Portraying themselves as centrist, the party hopes to establish "positive and benevolent leadership". Results
