Canada Votes 2025: Lanark-Frontenac
Kingston is no longer part of riding in the middle of eastern Ontario, or its name
The riding in the middle of eastern Ontario no longer includes north Kingston.
The regular independent boundary review that followed the 2021 census moved an area of the city north of Highway 401 to Kingston and the Islands.

What used to be Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston is now Lanark-Frontenac, stretching from Ottawa city limits to Hastings County and including places such as Carleton Place, Perth and Sharbot Lake.
Highway 7 runs roughly through the middle of it.
Conservative Scott Reid has been the area's MP since 2000, tying him with riding neighbour Cheryl Gallant in Algonquin-Renfrew-Pembroke for the longest-serving local MP.
Reid fell just short of 50 per cent of the vote in 2021, winning by about 14,000 votes.
The deadline to both apply to vote by mail and to vote at Elections Canada offices is 6 p.m. on April 22. Polls are open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on election day on Monday, April 28.
