Electoral districts (or "ridings") are the areas from which members of the House of Commons are elected, and for which those members are responsible for representing. There are currently 308 electoral districts. The number and boundaries of electoral districts are revisited and revised every ten (10) years.

Does the governor general of Canada vote?

The only Canadians who may not cast a vote are the Chief Electoral Officer (as per s. 4(a) of the Canada Elections Act), and the Assistant Chief Electoral Officer (as per s. 4(b) of the Canada Elections Act). Therefore, the Governor General of Canada has the legal right to vote. However, just as Her Majesty the Queen does not vote in Her Majesty's oldest realm, the United Kingdom, the Governor General of Canada does not cast a vote so as to stay non-partisan.
