Abstract

This map shows the provisional results of the 39th Federal Election, held on January 23, 2006. The map colour-codes the winner in each of the 308 electoral districts (ridings) by party affiliation. The distribution of ridings by province and territory is as follows:

British Columbia - 36, Alberta - 28, Saskatchewan - 14, Manitoba - 14, Ontario - 106, Quebec - 75, New Brunswick - 10, Nova Scotia - 11, Prince Edward Island - 4, Newfoundland and Labrador - 7, Yukon - 1, Northwest Territories - 1 and Nunavut - 1.

The information shown for individual ridings (using "Get Info from Map ") consists of:

• the name of the district
• the name of the candidate elected
• the elected candidate's party
• whether or not the elected candidate was an incumbent (a member of the immediately preceding Parliament)
• the names of the other candidates running in the particular riding
• a Web link to the Statistics Canada Federal Electoral District Profiles (which have detailed socio-economic data about each district)

The candidate's name is the same as that used for his or her registration with Elections Canada, with the exception that for incumbents (members who had also been members of the 38th Parliament), the style used for their name is that used on the Parliamentary Web site. "Hon." or "Right Hon." are used with the candidates' names as appropriate.

When the election results become official (approximately three months after Election Day), the map will be updated and additional information will be shown in "Get Info from Map".

As of January 24, the number of seats won by each party was as follows: Conservative - 124, Liberal - 103, Bloc Québécois - 51, New Democratic Party - 29, Independent - 1.
