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 152 voters switching from New Democratic to Liberal — 0.3% of the 50,446 valid votes, 0.3 points — to change the result. No ballot was cast this way; this only moves votes between the top two.

IVElection day versus advance
Only 55.8% of this riding's votes were cast at election-day polls. The rest were advance or special ballots. On election day alone, the Liberals led here — the seat was decided by ballots cast before the day.

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.
