IDid this riding change?
Essentially no. Today's Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies covers almost exactly the same ground as the Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies riding it replaced.
How this is measured. Share of the current riding's area that came from each former riding, by intersecting the 2013 and 2023 boundary files. It is area, not population. Elections Canada counts 48 of 343 ridings as entirely unchanged.

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.

Flip the seatHypothetical
It would have taken 15,206 voters switching from Conservative to Liberal — 25.8% of the 58,992 valid votes, 25.8 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

IVElection day versus advance

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.
