The Bloc Québécois were first at three of the eight general elections from 2004 to 2025, the Liberals at three and the NDP at two; it changed hands twice. In 2025 the Liberals took 46.1% of the vote here, 20.3 points above their average of 25.8% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.
On today's boundaries the Bloc Québécois were first here in 2004 (59.5%), 2006 (54.8%) and 2008 (49.0%), the NDP in 2011 (47.5%) and 2015 (30.7%) and the Liberals in 2019 (34.4%), 2021 (37.8%) and 2025 (46.1%), 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 and 2019 the carried top two are within two points, so which party was first is less certain.
- 2021 Liberal · Soraya Martinez Ferrada, by 3,108 votes (6.5 pts)
- 2019 Liberal · Soraya Martinez Ferrada, by 328 votes (0.7 pts)
- 2015 New Democratic · Marjolaine Boutin-Sweet, by 500 votes (1.0 pts)
In Hochelaga on the 2013 boundaries, the riding most of the 2025 electors in today's Hochelaga—Rosemont-Est lived in; Elections Canada's official results.
