5 Unusual Facts About The Canadian Parliamentary Polls

Ottawa, Canada:

With the upcoming Canadian elections scheduled for April 28, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party are locked in a tight race to lead the government. As the parliamentary election approaches, there are some intriguing facts that set Canada’s electoral process apart from others.

Discover the top 5 unique and interesting facts about the Canada Elections:

  1. In a distinctive feature of Canadian democracy, all citizens, including hardened criminals serving time in prison, are granted the right to vote. This stands in contrast to many other democracies where only those on bail or awaiting trial are eligible to cast their ballot.
  2. Interestingly, there are two individuals in Canada who do not partake in the voting process – the Chief Electoral Officer, responsible for overseeing the elections and mandated to maintain neutrality, and the Governor-General, who symbolizes the monarchy’s political neutrality by choosing not to vote as a longstanding tradition.
  3. The number of electoral constituencies in Canada has increased to 343 in 2025 due to population growth. Notably, the three territories in Canada’s northern region each have a single seat, representing only one senator per territory – Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon.
  4. Most Canadians receive a voter card in the mail indicating their polling station, although it is not mandatory to bring this card on election day. While the card serves as identification, its presence can facilitate the voting process at the polling station.
  5. Unlike some countries, the Prime Minister of Canada is not required to be a member of parliament. For instance, current Prime Minister Mark Carney, a former banker from the Central Bank of Canada, does not hold a seat in the House of Commons. The 2025 elections mark Mr. Carney’s first campaign for a parliamentary seat, following in the footsteps of past Prime Ministers like Charles Tupper, Arthur Meighen, and John Turner who also lacked parliamentary seats.
