Against the 2021 result on these boundaries, the Conservatives are up 1.8 (44.0% to 45.8%), the Liberals up 11.6 (18.7% to 30.3%), the Bloc Québécois down 9.2 (29.2% to 20.0%) and the New Democrats down 1.6 (3.3% to 1.7%), in points of the valid votes.

2021 is Elections Canada's transposition of that election onto the 2023 boundaries, not an election held on these lines.

The Bloc Québécois were first at three of the eight general elections from 2004 to 2025, the Conservatives at three, the NDP at one and the Liberals at one; it changed hands three times. In 2025 the Conservatives took 45.8% of the vote here, 17.3 points above their average of 28.5% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

On today's boundaries the Bloc Québécois were first here in 2004 (57.2%), 2006 (51.3%) and 2008 (45.8%), the NDP in 2011 (37.7%), the Liberals in 2015 (28.3%) and the Conservatives in 2019 (36.0%), 2021 (44.0%) and 2025 (45.8%), each with the share of the valid votes shown.

A stronghold is a party first at every general election since 2004, by an average of 20 points or more over the next party; held, first at every one; usually, first at all but one. By-elections are not counted. By this rule 160 of the 343 ridings have no degree. The results before 2021 are carried onto today's boundaries by where the riding's 2025 electors lived: our estimate, from the older boundaries of Taylor, Lucas, Kirby and Hewitt and the results in Sevi's "Who Runs?". 2021 is Elections Canada's transposition, and 2025 the official result. In 2015 the carried top two are within two points, so which party was first is less certain.

IDid this riding change?

Yes. 83% of the 2025 electors in today's Côte-du-Sud—Rivière-du-Loup—Kataskomiq—Témiscouata lived in the old Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup; by area, 31% of the riding came from other ridings.

How this is measured. Electors: the share of the current riding's 2025 ordinary-list electors who lived in each former riding, each 2025 polling division placed in the 2013 riding a point inside it falls in. Area: the share of the current riding's area that came from each former riding, by intersecting the 2013 and 2023 boundary files, and how much of the former riding that part was. Area is land, not population. Elections Canada counts 48 of 343 ridings as entirely unchanged.

Flip the seatHypothetical

Voters who switch: 009,778

Still Conservative by 9,776 votes. Actual margin: 9,776.

An association, not a cause. Voters who cast ballots before election day differed from those who turned out on the day. It does not say why. There is no poll-level turnout figure on this page: the elector count on a polling division includes people who voted in advance and were counted elsewhere.
