Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge — Election Outlook & Projection
Where this riding stands
The RidingWatch model currently projects the Liberals at 47.5% in Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge, 10.1 points ahead of the Conservatives at 37.4%, with the NDP at 14.1%. Across 10,000 simulations the seat goes to the Liberals in 94% of them, the Conservatives in 6%. The simulations put the Liberals' share anywhere from 40% to 53%, and the Conservatives' from 31% to 43%.
In April 2025 the Conservatives won here with 47%, 1 points ahead of the Liberals. The Conservatives also held it in 2021. Compared with the 2025 result, the current projection has the Conservatives down 9.6, the NDP up 8.1, the Liberals up 1.5 points. These shifts come from the national polling swing applied to this riding's past results — not from riding-level polling, which the model does not have.
The sitting member is Marc Dalton (Conservative), MP since 2021.
Rating: Likely Liberal — the Liberals are ahead in most simulations. In practical terms, the Liberals are ahead in most simulations, but the Conservatives win in 6% of them — the outcome is probable, not fixed. No other party is within 10 points of the lead on these numbers, though the Conservatives at 37.4% clear the model's 15% viability floor. Every vote counts toward a party's national total regardless of the local outcome.

About the Model
This projection is generated by the RidingWatch statistical model, which combines national polling data with historical election results to estimate vote shares and likely outcomes in each of Canada's 343 federal ridings.
The model begins with a weighted blend of results from the 2025 and 2021 federal elections, then applies the polling swing to each riding using a mostly-uniform (90/10 uniform/proportional) swing method — the national swing, adjusted by the province's pooled deviation where pollsters publish regional crosstabs. No pollster house effects are applied. Incumbency is not assumed: only first-term MPs (+1) and party leaders (+2) receive an adjustment. Uncertainty is estimated through 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations with correlated regional errors.
Projections are updated as new polling data becomes available. All estimates are probabilistic — they represent the most likely outcome given current information, not a guarantee of any result. Actual election outcomes depend on factors the model cannot fully capture, including local campaigns, turnout variation, and late-breaking events.
