- For its analysis, Elections Canada matched polling divisions closely to Indigenous-community boundaries; the data do not identify voters, may miss people in urban centres and may include non-Indigenous residents.
- Turnout was 30.2% in all Inuit communities, 42.1% in First Nations communities and 50.9% in Métis communities.
- Some voters in Nunavik were unable to cast ballots in 2025 after a shortage of Elections Canada staff led some polling stations to close well ahead of schedule.
- Elections Canada said the figures cannot be compared directly with previous years because its methodology changed.
