The Record So Far
The 338Canada / Qc125 model has thus far covered 20 general elections in Canada.
In total, 2,509 electoral districts were projected.
So far, the model has correctly identified the winner
in 2,238 districts, a success rate of 89.2%.
Among the 271 remaining districts, 168 of the winners
(6.7%) obtained a share of the vote that was within
the projection's margin of error (moe). Only 103 districts
(4.1%) were complete misses.
On this site, electoral districts are labelled according to the odds of winning by the projected favourite party.
If a party's odds of winning are at or above 99.9% (formerly 99.5%), the district is labelled as safe. Between 90% and 99.9%, the district is likely.
Between 70% ad 90%, we use the label leaning. Finally, if no party has odds above 70%, the district will be labelled as a toss up.
