Candidate nominations by party websites

Another indicator of party preparedness (as of 8 pm 23 March). Not all candidates have bio information available yet:

• CPC: 266
• LPC: 185
• NDP: 111
• Bloc: 71 (out of 78 ridings)
• Green: 40
• PPC: 284

Jerome Black and I are in the process of analyzing candidate diversity in terms of gender, indigenous, visible minority, religious minority, immigration history, LGBTQ and whether new or previous federal candidates.

Expect that virtually all candidates will be nominated by the end of the month that will allow us to do the initial analysis.
