Canada Votes 2025: Bay of Quinte
Border changes for Belleville-area riding affect Quinte West
Quinte West is portioned out differently in the changes to eastern Ontario's southwestern corner.

Specifically, the riding border generally shifts from Quinte West's eastern flank near Highway 62 to the Trent River north of Highway 401.
