Polling division simulator · Quebec
The 127 ridings, according to your scenarios
Quebec's 16,756 polling divisions, coloured by the polls — then by your shifts in opinion. Projections, not predictions.

published scenarioHow it works
We take the latest polls and work out how many seats each party would win if the vote were held today. It's a snapshot of right now, not a prediction of the final result.
The percentages are shares of the likely electorate — who actually votes, not the population polled: they differ slightly from published polls, and that is intentional.
The full table of close races — riding by riding, with their polling-division maps — is reserved for subscribers.
How it works
Slide a control to move a party up or down. Everything recalculates instantly: you see what would happen if opinion shifted.
Move a slider: the 127 ridings are recalculated in your browser, and the map follows.
The Map Room · 127 ridings
Welcome to the Map Room
Zoom and pan the map: drag it with your finger or mouse; pinch, Ctrl + scroll, or double-click to zoom — the − / + buttons do the same.
Zoom in enough and the 16,756 polling divisions appear, with their numbers: hover over one for its summary — from farther out, it is the riding that is summarized.
The results follow your sliders in real time: open the "Sliders" and "Results" panels to adjust the scenario without leaving the map.
Search your neighbourhood: type your postal code into the field at the top of the map — it will go there and drop a marker.
The trend line
The projected seats over the course of our publications: each point is an update to the published scenario.

The map
127 ridingsHow it works
Each riding wears the colour of the party in the lead. Zoom in and you get down to the vote a few streets at a time.
Each riding leads to its polling-division map.
This riding's page — its polling-division map, its close races, its chances — is part of the subscription, like the other 126, the 16,756 divisions across Quebec, and the Map Room, the full-screen map that zooms in to your street.
Election simulations
published simulationHow it works
Polls are never exactly right. So we replay the election 10,000 times with the numbers varied, and count how often each party wins. The odds are that count.
We simulate the election 10,000 times. Each card below shows the share of those scenarios in which each outcome occurs.

Why two seat numbers?
Both numbers are correct — they answer different questions.
The projection applies today's polls to the electoral map, division by division. It is the map's exact number: 127 verdicts added together.
The simulations replay the election 10,000 times, letting the polls vary within their margin of error. The middle of the ranges does not always land on the projection, because seats do not move symmetrically: depending on the map, a party can have more to lose than to gain as voting intentions shift.
In one sentence: the projection says what the polls give; the simulations say what can happen within their margin of error.
