A total of 213 seats

The 9th Canadian general election (Engl. 9th Canadian General Election , French. 9e élection fédérale canadienne ) was held on November 7, 1900. 213 deputies were elected the Canadian House of Commons (Engl. House of Commons , fr. Chambre des Communes ). The Liberal Party was able to expand the absolute majority it had won four years earlier.

The vote

The ruling Liberal Party of Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier , the first Francophone head of government in the country, had won an absolute majority of the parliamentary seats in 1896, although at the time it had received fewer votes than the Conservative Party and the Liberal Conservatives associated with it .

In the 1900 election, the Liberals were the first party to win more than 50% of the vote, thereby increasing their majority in parliament. The opposition conservatives around Charles Tupper suffered slight losses.

The turnout was 77.4%.
