Since 2021

Against the 2021 result on these boundaries, the Bloc Québécois are down 0.6 (44.9% to 44.3%), the Liberals up 6.9 (27.4% to 34.3%), the Conservatives up 3.9 (12.4% to 16.3%), the New Democrats down 4.5 (7.1% to 2.6%) and the Greens down 0.6 (2.1% to 1.5%), 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 at six of the eight general elections from 2004 to 2025, the NDP at one and the Liberals at one; it changed hands three times. In 2025 the Bloc Québécois took 44.3% of the vote here, 0.2 points above their average of 44.1% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

On today's boundaries the Bloc Québécois were first here in 2004 (60.1%), 2006 (54.0%), 2008 (49.6%), 2019 (44.8%), 2021 (44.9%) and 2025 (44.3%), the NDP in 2011 (47.5%) and the Liberals in 2015 (33.2%), 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.

Before 2025
  • 2021 Bloc Québécois · Christine Normandin, by 10,593 votes (17.9 pts)
  • 2019 Bloc Québécois · Christine Normandin, by 8,844 votes (14.2 pts)
  • 2015 Liberal · Jean Rioux, by 2,467 votes (4.1 pts)

In the old Saint-Jean on the 2013 boundaries, the riding most of the 2025 electors in today's Saint-Jean lived in; Elections Canada's official results.

IDid this riding change?

Essentially no. Today's Saint-Jean covers almost exactly the same ground as the Saint-Jean 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.

Conservative took more than the 6,475-vote margin. True in 100 of 343 ridings in 2025.

Flip the seatHypothetical

It would have taken 3,238 voters switching from Bloc Québécois to Liberal — 5.0% of the 64,215 valid votes, 5.0 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

Still Bloc Québécois by 6,475 votes. Actual margin: 6,475.

IVElection day versus advance

Only 59.3% of this riding's votes were cast at election-day polls. The rest were advance or special ballots.

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.
