About the Model

This projection is generated by the RidingWatch statistical model, which combines national and regional 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 polling-driven vote swings at the provincial level using a proportional-uniform swing method. Incumbency effects and riding-specific contextual factors are incorporated where applicable. 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.
