There are two sites that can be used to access federal election results.

History of Federal Ridings since 1867

The Parliament of Canada has a list of results from every election from 1867 to present including descriptions of boundaries and vote tallies for each candidate as well as links to photographs and short biographical descriptions.  Are you interested in how many votes the Liberal candidate Francis Darke (for whom Darke Hall at the College Avenue Campus is named after) defeated the Conservative incumbant for Regina Riding in the 1925 election?  This is the place to find out.
