Have you ever wondered how many people have been elected to Parliament or the legislative assemblies since they've been in existence? Well, maybe you haven't, but I have! And it's 14,277 persons — 12,920 men, 1,352 women, and 5 persons identifying as non-binary. Among them, 4,549 are (or are believed to be) still alive: 3,406 men, 1,138 women, and all non-binary individuals.

Although they are not legion, some people never sat in the legislature to which they were elected. A few examples:

These people are still part of this count.

The following interactive table shows how many people have been elected to each legislature.

  • The number in an F (Federal) or P (Provincial) cell for each jurisdiction leads to the corresponding list of people.
    • Numbers in the first row for a jurisdiction lead to the full list.
    • Those in the second row lead to only those who are still alive.
  • However, for the last row (Total), only the F cells are active and lead to the corresponding list of people.
  • Finally, the "Diff." rows at the end of the table adjust the counts so that the same person is counted only once.

This table counts the number of persons elected to a legislature. A person elected to more than one legislature is counted for each one, but the total is then ajusted.

While the relatively small number elected women is glaring, it is interesting to note that most of them (84.2%) are still alive compared to the average (31.9%). Even though women have had the right to vote for a bit more than a century in most jurisdictions, they only started to be elected in more significant numbers to legislative assemblies in the 1980s, and parity with men is still very far from being achieved.
