Canada Votes 2025: Carleton

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is running to represent a larger area in 2025 — and we're not just talking about becoming prime minister.

The rural Ottawa riding of Carleton, which he has won seven times in a row, now stretches from Renfrew County to Prescott-Russell because of the independent review that followed the 2021 census.

It adds communities such as Constance Bay and Fitzroy Harbour to Metcalfe, Osgoode and Stittsville. It also takes the area of Piperville and Anderson roads from Orléans, and more land west of Highway 416 from Nepean.

If you're in Findlay Creek, you may now be voting in Ottawa South.

Check with Elections Canada to confirm your riding.

Polls are open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on election day on Monday, April 28. Elections Canada has more information on voting options.

The advocacy group Longest Ballot, which tries to get as many candidates as possible on a ballot to call attention to the idea of an independent electoral reform process, told CBC News it is targeting Carleton.

Because of this, there are about 90 candidates on the final ballot.

The People's Party originally listed Chantale Dore as their Carleton candidate, but as of April 3 she was removed from their candidate page. The party did not end up fielding a candidate.
