Interactive Data Visualizer – 2023 Representation Orders

Introduction

This page summarizes the transposition of the results of the 44th general election (GE) in 2021 to the new boundaries established by the 2023 decennial Federal Electoral District (FED) boundary readjustment process.

There will be 343 FEDs under the 2023 representation orders (compared to 338 FEDs under the 2013 representation order). Of those new 343 FEDs, 48 are FEDs from the 2013 representation order whose boundaries remain unchanged.

The new FEDs and changed boundaries will come into effect when Parliament is dissolved for a general election called at least seven months after the representation orders are proclaimed. The earliest date is April 23, 2024.

More info

The results must be transposed because each of the political parties that endorsed candidates in a FED in the previous election has the right to provide lists of names of persons suitable to be appointed election officers in that FED.

After a decennial FED boundary readjustment, the determination as to which registered parties have the right to provide lists of names is based on a transposition of the results of the previous general election, which for this report was the 44th general election held on September 21, 2021, onto the new electoral map.

It is important to note that the vote is secret, and therefore, it is impossible to link any elector's address to an individual ballot. While the transposition exercise cannot be 100% accurate, Elections Canada is confident in the quality and integrity of the results presented in this report.

Additional information about the process of drawing the new FED boundaries can be found at the Federal Electoral District Redistribution 2022 website.
