BURLINGTON, ON
While the candidates are looking for votes, the voters in Burlington will want to know exactly where they will go on April 28th to cast their ballot.
That time around, at the federal level, Burlington had three MP’s.
In 2023, Elections Canada did a required review of the population in each constituency, held public hearings and revised many of the boundaries.
They also increased the number of seats in the House of Commons from 338 to 343
The result is one less seat for Burlington. What was once (1) Burlington, (2) Oakville North Burlington and (3) Milton is now just Burlington and Burlington North–Milton West
