Change for the Conservatives is from the combined totals of the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance.
Previous elections [ edit ] Changes for the Canadian Alliance from 1997 are based on the results of its predecessor, the Reform Party.
Student Vote results [ edit ] 2011 election [ edit ] In 2011, a Student Vote was conducted at participating Canadian schools to parallel the 2011 Canadian federal election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.[ 6]
