343 ridings, one seat each.
Canadians elect 343 MPs by first-past-the-post, one per riding (circonscription), and
whoever holds the confidence of the House of Commons governs. The 2025 election left Mark Carney's Liberals
three seats short; floor crossings and by-elections have since given them a majority without another general
election.
A majority: 173 of 343 seats, with 172 needed. The count includes the Speaker, who votes only to break a tie. 337 seats are filled and 6 are vacant.
At the election on April 28, 2025 the Liberals won 169. Since then 5 MPs have crossed the floor to them and they have won all six by-elections held in 2026, one of them a gain from the Conservatives; the majority was reached on April 13, 2026.
The King reigns; the Governor General acts for him on the advice of a Prime Minister who must keep the House's
confidence. Elections are run by an independent officer of Parliament, the Chief Electoral Officer.

First-past-the-post rewards votes that are concentrated. In 2025 the Bloc and the NDP each took about 6.3% of the national vote: the Bloc, all of it in Quebec, won 22 seats; the NDP, spread across the country, won 7. The Gallagher index of disproportionality was 5.0 (0 is perfectly proportional).
Two ridings in Ontario, three in Quebec and one in Saskatchewan vote to replace MPs who resigned. All six
close at the same instant, 9:30 pm Eastern and 8:30 pm in Saskatchewan, and Elections Canada publishes results
as they are counted.
