Since 2021

Against the 2021 result on these boundaries, the Bloc Québécois are down 7.2 (53.3% to 46.1%), the Liberals up 13.4 (25.4% to 38.8%), the Conservatives up 3.1 (8.7% to 11.8%) and the New Democrats down 5.1 (7.6% to 2.5%), 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 here at seven of the eight general elections from 2004 to 2025; the NDP were first in 2011. In 2025 the Bloc Québécois took 46.1% of the vote here, 2.6 points below their average of 48.7% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

On today's boundaries the Bloc Québécois were first here in 2004 (66.2%), 2006 (57.0%), 2008 (50.0%), 2015 (28.6%), 2019 (51.0%), 2021 (53.3%) and 2025 (46.1%) and the NDP in 2011 (44.8%), 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 83 of the 343 ridings are usually one party's. 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?

Essentially no. Today's Pierre-Boucher—Les Patriotes—Verchères covers almost exactly the same ground as the Pierre-Boucher—Les Patriotes—Verchères riding it replaced, and 100% of its 2025 electors lived in it.

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.

It would have taken 2,275 voters switching from Bloc Québécois to Liberal — 3.6% of the 62,426 valid votes, 3.6 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.
