Canada's electoral history from 1867 to today

Nobody in power today

by Maurice Y. Michaud (he/him)

Let's find...Nobody is the hands down favorite candidate in every election today. Of the 1,110 races that have been held in general elections for the current legislatures, he has won 858 of them. In other words, his success rate was 77.30%. And no need to do the math for the by-elections, for which the turnout is always very low. For those, we already know that he has had a perfect record! Prince Edward Island is the only jurisdiction where he is not a smashing success, but he did better in 2023 than ever before. But for its part, Ontario really ought to be ashamed of itself.

These tables show, by party, how frequently Nobody was the winner rather than the person elected.
