What the numbers say

Second in votes, third in seats

The Greens won 21.6% of the vote — more than the Liberals' 17.2% — but took only 2 seats to the Liberals' 3. That is why the Liberals, not the Greens, formed the Official Opposition.

Five races decided the opposition

Mermaid-Stratford flipped PC by 38 votes, Charlottetown-Victoria Park stayed Green by 74, New Haven-Rocky Point stayed Green by 106, O'Leary-Inverness stayed Liberal by 156, and Charlottetown-West Royalty stayed Liberal by 165. A swing of a few hundred votes would have reshaped the opposition benches.

Lowest turnout on record

Turnout was 68.5% — the lowest Elections PEI has recorded for a general election since it began keeping records in 1966, down from 76.3% in 2019.
