How many electoral districts / ridings / constituencies are there in Canada?

  1. 338

  2. 308

  3. 298

  4. 348

The correct answer is: 308

The correct answer is B. The number of electoral districts / ridings / constituencies in Canada is constantly changing due to population shifts and redistribution, but as of the 2015 federal election, there are 308 electoral districts in Canada. Option A (338) is incorrect because that was the number of electoral districts for the 2019 federal election. Option C (298) is incorrect because that was the number of ridings for the 2004 and 2006 federal elections. Option D (348) is incorrect because that was the number of electoral districts for the 2006 federal election. It is important to note that while the number of electoral districts changes, the number of seats in the House of Commons (currently 338) remains the same.
