In Salaberry—Suroît on the 2013 boundaries, the riding most of the 2025 electors in today's Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent lived in; Elections Canada's official results. The elections from 2004, carried onto today's lines, are below.

Since 2004

No party has held it since 2004: 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 43.9% of the vote here, 1.9 points above their average of 42.0% 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 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 2015 the carried top two are within two points, so which party was first is less certain.

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
13,230 votes
Conservative took more than the 8,066-vote margin. True in 100 of 343 ridings in 2025.
Election-day polls won by others
43 of 244
3 polls ended in an exact tie.

Flip the seatHypothetical

It would have taken 4,034 voters switching from Bloc Québécois to Liberal — 5.9% of the 68,314 valid votes, 5.9 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

Bloc Québécois30,005
Liberal21,939
Still Bloc Québécois by 8,066 votes. Actual margin: 8,066.

IVElection day versus advance

Only 59.0% 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.
