Mark Carney’s Liberals look poised to form the next government and as of 11:15 p.m. were 14 seats short of a majority, based on unofficial projected results from across Canada, according to Elections Canada data.
With 343 seats up for grabs, 172 are needed to form a majority government.
The Liberals are leading with 157 seats, Conservatives in second place so far with 149 seats, the Bloc Quebecois with 25, NDP with 11 and Green party with one seat.
In Nunavut, incumbent NDP MP Lori Idlout had an early lead with 658 votes, followed by Conservative James T. Arreak with 376 and Liberal Kilikvak Kabloona with 274 votes. However, that was with just 15 of 66 polls counted.
In the Nunavik riding of Abitibi—Baie-Comeau—Nunavik—Eeyou meanwhile, incumbent Sylvie Bérubé of the Bloc Quebecois was ahead with 5,884 votes after 120 of 214 polls had been counted.

Polls have now closed across Canada, including in Ontario and Quebec and Alberta at 9:30 p.m. EST, and British Columbia and Yukon provinces at 10 p.m. Initial unofficial results show the Liberals in the lead with the popular vote at 50.8% and 74 projected seats as compared to the Conservative Party’s at 66 seats, according to CBC. The Elections Canada website has been shaky all night, frequently inaccessible to anyone trying to find results from the ridings.

Liberals got off to a strong start in Atlantic Canada.
After polls closed at 7 p.m. local time across Newfoundland and Labrador and the rest of Atlantic Canada — including Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick — Mark Carney’s Liberal party was leading in 22 ridings compared to 10 for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, as per Elections Canada unofficial results.
So far, 13 Liberal MPs appear to be elected, based on unofficial results, while five Conservative candidates appear to have secured seats. The New Democratic Party has secured no seats or elected MPs.
The Liberals were also leading the popular vote in the region with 50.8 per cent support, according to Elections Canada.
During the last session of Parliament, the Liberals held 153 seats for a minority government, propped up for a time by the NDP and its 25 seats.
The Conservatives had 120 seats, the Bloc Quebecois held 33, there were four Independents and the Green party had two seats (and two leaders, coincidentally).
With a total of 343 seats in the next Parliament, it means 172 seats are required for a majority government.
