Federal Elections
Canada holds federal general elections for the House of Commons at least once every five years. General elections have been held since Confederation (1867). Each election leads to the formation of a new Parliament. As the Parliaments are numbered since Confederation, so are the elections. The election of 2008 was the 40th Federal Election.
The four maps in this theme show the results of the most recent elections (2008, 2006, 2004 and 2000).
