- 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.
If we’re not being included by the people who are trying to represent us, then why would we turn up to the polls?— Jennifer Laewetz, CEO of Paskwâw Strategies, speaking about Indigenous outreach and voter engagement in Canada

- Liberal Tatiana Auguste won the seat after the recount with 23,352 votes, while Bloc Quebecois candidate Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagne received 23,351 votes.
- The Liberals now hold 170 seats in the House of Commons, while the Bloc's count has decreased to 22.
Any vote that doesn’t get to us on time to wherever it’s meant to go, whether it’s the local office or to our accounting facility in Ottawa, the law basically dictates that it can’t be counted.— Matthew McKenna, spokesperson for Elections Canada, explaining the legal implications of ballot submission errors.
