But turnout was higher than in the last federal election, when 62.6 per cent of eligible voters headed to the polls.

Elections Canada does not gather demographics data so it’s not clear which groups turned out to vote. The agency says postelection surveys can show which groups faced barriers to voting and what can be done to address them in future elections.

The Liberal party ended the election with 43.7 per cent of the total vote and 169 seats, while the Conservative party secured 41.3 per cent of the vote and 144 seats.

The Bloc Québécois and the NDP both took 6.3 per cent of the vote, and will hold 22 and 7 seats respectively.
