There is three important types of institutions: political, judicial, and administrative.

Political institutions refer to the National Assembly and the Executive Council, and to municipal institutions, the administrative organization of local municipalities, regional county municipalities (MRC), the Kativik Regional Administration, as well as to the Municipal Commission of Québec. These institutions represent the seat of decision and power in Québec.

Judicial institutions include administrative, judiciary, and specialized tribunals. Among these are numerous bodies authorized to hear or judge different types of cases. These institutions are responsible for ensuring the application of the legislative power throughout the territory of Québec.

Administrative institutions regroup government departments and bodies as well as the health-care, education, and public security systems. These institutions make up the basic structure of the Québec governmental organization.
