    Seat projections (regional breakdown)

    What do the regional results look like and how does that compare to last election?

    Below are the regional breakdowns of the most recent seat projection. The number of seats in each province (and region) is largely determined by the proportion of the Canadian population that lives there. Due to population changes since the last election, seats have been added to B.C., Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, increasing the total number of seats in the House of Commons to 338 from 308.
