This is page shows results of Canadian federal elections in Edmonton and the surrounding area.

Regional profile

Edmonton is by far the most liberal area in Alberta, and is the current base of the provincial NDP and the provincial Liberals. However, it is still more conservative than most other large cities in Canada. The Conservatives and their predecessors have held most seats here since 1993, although in most cases with smaller pluralities than the astronomical margins in rural Alberta.

This is the only area in Alberta where the Liberals have broken through in recent times, having won between two and four seats here from 1993 to 2004, although never by large margins. The four seats the Liberals won in Edmonton in 1993 were the first they had won anywhere in Alberta since 1968. The Liberals lost all their seats in 2006 as the Conservatives took power back.

In 2008, the Conservative stronghold in Alberta was broken by the New Democratic Party (NDP) in Edmonton-Strathcona, although all other seats remained under Conservative control. The NDP has held this seat ever since. The only other time the NDP won a seat in the region is when it won Edmonton East in 1988. In 2011, the NDP took the second-place spot in all Edmonton-area ridings except Edmonton-Sherwood Park (where they came in third behind the Conservative winner and an independent candidate) and Edmonton-Strathcona (which they won outright by thirteen percentage points). In 2015, the Liberals took two ridings, Duncan retained Edmonton Strathcona, and the Tories held the remainder.

Even when the Tories won everything outside of Edmonton Strathcona, their safest seats are in the more suburban ridings outside of the city core. From 2004 to 2011, their best riding in the region was Edmonton—Spruce Grove--most of which is now Edmonton West. In 2011, for instance, the Conservatives won 71% of the vote there. They also won more than 60% of the vote in Edmonton—St. Albert, Edmonton—Leduc and Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont. Further underlining this, one of the Liberal gains in 2015 was in Edmonton Centre.
