poll.

The Canada Elections Act (s.326) requires whoever first publishes a poll during an election period to give the sponsor, the pollster, the dates, the population, the number of people contacted, the margin of error and, in print or online, the exact question wording. Our source lists pollster, dates, sample, mode and margin of error; the sponsor and the questions are in each pollster's own report. A margin of error is not given for opt-in online panels, which are not probability samples.

eight.

Registration lets a party issue tax receipts and put its name on the ballot; it needs 250 members and at least one candidate at each general election. These eight are registered today; the Libertarian Party was deregistered on March 31, 2026.

Party families

How the parties
line up.

Brokerage parties

Liberals and Conservatives are big-tent parties that try to win everywhere, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. Under one name or another, they have formed every federal government since 1867.

The left

The NDP, heir to the prairie socialism of the CCF, has governed several provinces but never Ottawa; it was the Official Opposition once, in 2011. Its vote fell to the Liberals in 2025.

Quebec

The Bloc sits only for Quebec ridings. Formed in 1991 after the Meech Lake Accord failed, it was the Official Opposition after the 1993 election and has been third or fourth since.

The rest

Greens, the People's Party and smaller registered parties rarely win a riding under first-past-the-post: a party needs its votes concentrated, as the Bloc's are, not spread thinly. See the seat lab →

Prediction-market prices are traders' bets, not polls. They are shown for information with no link to the market: Polymarket's terms exclude residents of Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta, and Canadian law restricts promoting such contracts. They are frozen with the polls on a polling day.
