The number of ridings in Canada is determined by the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, which mandates a review of electoral districts every ten years. The process involves analyzing population data from the national census and considering geographic and demographic factors to ensure effective representation. Each province and territory is allocated a specific number of ridings based on its population relative to others. Adjustments may also occur due to changes in population distribution or shifts in Demographics.
There are currently 308 federal ridings in Canada.
