The 2021 column is Elections Canada's official transposition of the 2021 result onto these 2023 boundaries. ± is the change in each party's share. It is not "swing": with four or more competitive parties there is no single pair to swing between.
IIIHow close was it, really
Swing needed to flip
2.5 pts
Half the margin: the share that would have had to move from first to second.
Third place vs. the margin
11,816 votes
Conservative took more than the 3,217-vote margin. True in 100 of 343 ridings in 2025.

Flip the seatHypothetical
It would have taken 1,609 voters switching from Liberal to Bloc Québécois — 2.4% of the 65,703 valid votes, 2.5 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.
Liberal26,967
Bloc Québécois23,750
Still Liberal by 3,217 votes. Actual margin: 3,217.
IVElection day versus advance
Only 54.2% of this riding's votes were cast at election-day polls. The rest were advance or special ballots. On election day alone, the Bloc Québécoiss led here — the seat was decided by ballots cast before the day.

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.
