The following is the individual results for the 2021 Canadian federal election. Following the 2019 election a minority government was formed, increasing the likelihood of an early election call.[1][2]
Candidates could begin registering with Elections Canada on 17 August; registration closed at 2 p.m. local time on 30 August.[3] The official list of candidates was available on 1 September.
Deputy returning officers report their results to the returning office by phone on election night, then submit written statements. Special ballots (including but not limited to mail-in voting) are counted at each district's returning office beginning the day after the election.[4] Returning officers have seven days to validate the written statement of the deputy returning officer for each poll; most ridings are validated within a week of voting but ridings with remote communities often take longer, with Nunavut taking 17 days in 2021. Six days after completing the validations, the returning officer declares the winner by signing and returning the writ to the Chief Electoral Officer. Ridings undergoing a judicial recount are not subject to the six-day time limit for returning the writ.[5]
