Since 2021

Against the 2021 result on these boundaries, the Conservatives are down 6.2 (51.1% to 44.9%), the Liberals up 16.0 (17.0% to 33.0%), the Bloc Québécois down 0.9 (19.8% to 18.9%) and the New Democrats down 2.8 (5.2% to 2.4%), 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 Conservatives were first at six of the eight general elections from 2004 to 2025, the Bloc Québécois at one and the NDP at one; it changed hands three times. In 2025 the Conservatives took 44.9% of the vote here, 0.8 points below their average of 45.7% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

On today's boundaries the Bloc Québécois were first here in 2004 (38.4%), the Conservatives in 2006 (57.7%), 2008 (47.1%), 2015 (50.5%), 2019 (44.7%), 2021 (51.1%) and 2025 (44.9%) and the NDP in 2011 (39.9%), 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.

IDid this riding change?

Yes — it shrank. All of today's Louis-Saint-Laurent—Akiawenhrahk, its electors as well as its ground, comes from the old Louis-Saint-Laurent, but it is only 91% of that riding by area. The rest went elsewhere.

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

It would have taken 3,917 voters switching from Conservative to Liberal — 6.0% of the 65,817 valid votes, 6.0 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

Still Conservative by 7,832 votes. Actual margin: 7,832.

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.
