In Saskatoon—University on the 2013 boundaries, the riding most of the 2025 electors in today's Saskatoon East lived in; Elections Canada's official results. The elections from 2004, carried onto today's lines, are below.

Since 2004

Held by the Conservatives: first here at all eight general elections from 2004 to 2025, by an average of 15.8 points over the next party, short of the 20 a stronghold needs. In 2025 the Conservatives took 48.9% of the vote here, 1.6 points above their average of 47.3% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

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 23 of the 343 ridings are held without being strongholds. 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?

Essentially no. Today's Saskatoon East covers almost exactly the same ground as the Saskatoon—University riding it replaced, and 99.6% 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.

IIIHow close was it, really

Third place vs. the margin
4,035 votes
New Democratic took more than the 3,556-vote margin. True in 100 of 343 ridings in 2025.

Flip the seatHypothetical

It would have taken 1,779 voters switching from Conservative to Liberal — 3.8% of the 47,425 valid votes, 3.8 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

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.
