List of Canadian electoral districts (1914–1924)

This list details the electoral districts (also known as ridings or constituencies) used in Canadian federal elections held between 1914 and 1924. This period covers the latter part of World War I and the subsequent post-war years, witnessing significant changes in Canadian politics and society. The electoral map changed between elections due to population shifts, the creation of new provinces, and redistributions undertaken to maintain reasonable representation.

The information provided generally includes:

  • Name of the Electoral District: The formal name used for the riding in official election documentation.
  • Province or Territory: The province or territory in which the electoral district was located.
  • Elections in which the district was used: A list indicating which elections the electoral district was active for. This period encompasses elections typically held in 1917, 1921, and potentially by-elections held between these dates. The exact election dates can vary.
  • Notes (where applicable): Any relevant details regarding the district's creation, dissolution, or significant boundary changes. This may also include notes on predecessor or successor districts.

It is important to note that electoral boundaries are subject to change following each decennial census (or more frequently) to reflect population shifts and ensure equitable representation. As such, the list of electoral districts in use between 1914 and 1924 differed from those used in earlier or later periods. The details of these districts are critical for historical research, genealogical studies, and understanding the political landscape of Canada during this pivotal era. Consulting official sources such as Elections Canada records and historical parliamentary documents is recommended for more detailed and precise information.
