About elections in Canada
I built ElectioMap to map national elections around the world. This is the Canada hub on ElectioMap — it brings together the 12 Canada elections I cover: 4 with the official results, vote and turnout shares to two decimal places (and, where the electoral authority publishes an official regional breakdown, an interactive map you can explore region by region), plus previews of 8 upcoming votes.
The political system of Canada
Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, and one of the world's oldest continuous democracies. Federal power rests with the Parliament of Canada in Ottawa, which consists of the monarch (represented by the Governor General), an appointed Senate, and an elected House of Commons. Only the House of Commons is chosen by voters: its members (MPs) are elected by first-past-the-post in single-member ridings — 338 from 2015 to 2021, and 343 since the 2024 redistribution based on the 2021 census. There is no fixed term in practice; a federal election must be held at least every five years, and by convention roughly every four, but the prime minister can request an earlier dissolution, and a minority government can fall on a confidence vote. The party (or coalition) that commands the confidence of the House forms the government, and its leader becomes prime minister; a party needs a majority of seats (170 of 338, or 172 of 343) to govern alone, otherwise it leads a minority government dependent on other parties. Canadian federal politics is dominated by two parties that have alternated in power since Confederation in 1867 — the centre-left Liberal Party (traditionally associated with red) and the Conservative Party (blue) — flanked by the social-democratic New Democratic Party (NDP, orange), the sovereigntist Bloc Québécois (which runs only in Quebec), the Green Party, and, since 2018, the right-wing populist People's Party. The Liberals under Justin Trudeau won a majority in 2015 and minorities in 2019 and 2021; in 2025, under new leader Mark Carney, they won a fourth consecutive term. Because of the first-past-the-post system and Canada's strong regional cleavages — Conservative dominance in the Prairies, Liberal strength in the Atlantic, Ontario and the big cities, and the Bloc's base in Quebec — the party that wins the most seats does not always win the most votes, as happened to the Conservatives in both 2019 and 2021. Elections are administered by Elections Canada, an independent, non-partisan agency, and official results are published at elections.ca. This page collects Canadian federal general-election results since 2015, with interactive maps of seats by province.

How these results are compiled
Every figure on ElectioMap is taken from the official electoral authority for Canada — the national election commission or equivalent body that certifies the count. I enter vote and turnout percentages exactly as published, to two decimal places and without rounding, and show seat totals wherever a chamber is being filled. When ElectioMap covers an election live, the page updates automatically as official figures are released. For the full sourcing and update policy, see Data & Methodology and the Editorial Policy.
