Since 2021

Against the 2021 result on these boundaries, the Bloc Québécois are down 0.9 (41.0% to 40.1%), the Liberals up 6.6 (32.7% to 39.3%), the Conservatives up 5.2 (11.9% to 17.1%), the New Democrats down 2.9 (5.2% to 2.3%) and the People's Party down 2.2 (3.4% to 1.2%), 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 40.1% of the vote here, 3.3 points above their average of 36.8% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

On today's boundaries the Bloc Québécois were first here in 2004 (46.6%), 2006 (43.1%), 2008 (42.8%), 2019 (38.6%), 2021 (41.0%) and 2025 (40.1%), the NDP in 2011 (51.1%) and the Liberals in 2015 (39.0%), 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. In 2019 the carried top two are within two points, so which party was first is less certain.

Before 2025
  • 2021 Bloc Québécois · Andréanne Larouche, by 5,029 votes (8.4 pts)
  • 2019 Bloc Québécois · Andréanne Larouche, by 898 votes (1.5 pts)
  • 2015 Liberal · Pierre Breton, by 9,012 votes (15.3 pts)

2021 Census on the 2023 boundaries; each rule places this riding among all 343. Density is the census population over the riding's area.

IDid this riding change?

Essentially no. Today's Shefford covers almost exactly the same ground as the Shefford 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.

Flip the seatHypothetical

It would have taken 286 voters switching from Bloc Québécois to Liberal — 0.4% of the 66,631 valid votes, 0.4 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

Bloc Québécois26,726

Still Bloc Québécois by 571 votes. Actual margin: 571.

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.
