It was their best riding last election, so they could win it.

Charlottetown-Victoria Park is tied between Liberals and Greens. I would totally like to see 4 parties in the legislature.

I'd always wondered what a hybrid of Somerset and Monaghan would sound like. Now I know.

The way results are covered here in PEI is so endearing. Tongue

I find it funny that having a 3-1 seat lead is considered close there.
But the popular vote is a lot closer than I expected so far.

6/13 polls in in Gord's district, and his lead is expanding. I think they'll take it.

Well, due to most ridings being close to 50-50, any lead for a party quickly cause a landslide.

And now McLauchlan, Liberal leader is trailing in his riding.

So,
Liberal leading is trailing.
PC leader is trailing.
NDP leader is trailing.

I don't know how advance votes tend to break in PEI, but for now it seems the NDP is in and the Greens are out.

We can't say for Greens. They focused on pretty much only their leader seat, but it's one of the 2 seats from which we have no results at all for the moment.

Is there any precedent for both major party leaders losing at the same election in PEI or elsewhere in Canada?

Ah yes, pardon me. Still, the NDP's advance in Charlottetown - Lewis Point seems unbridgeable now, except if there are sizeable amounts of advanced voting and they break heavily in favor of the Liberals or PC.

Well in that case I rescind my comment (though it would still be an interesting thing to share if anyone does know).

Was about to say no, but the new box is convincing.

Two boxes left, 518-384-356, N/L/C.

Bevan-Baker is ahead! So we might get four parties in the legislature after all.

I wouldn't call Lewis Point quite yet. Advance poll could have over 1000 votes.

For your question, I don't think that situation ever happened. Never heard about it and I suppose it would be known if it happened.

Results in Green leader seat, he leads by 99 votes.

Also, Green opens a 100 vote lead on the advanced votes in district 17 Kellys Cross Cumberland.

And the first ballot box looks promising with a 60-more lead !

Things are getting in very quickly and it looks like a very solid result for the Green leader. Already 280 votes ahead.

With 4/12 boxes, he leads by 280 votes, now. Should be safe.

PC leader might win, after all. One box left and he is only 26 votes behind.

Advanced voting seems to have skewed heavily Liberal in his riding, NDP and Greens doing very poorly : is tactical advanced voting a thing ?

Apparently the student vote mock election results were a bare PC majority elected through an epic vote split.

Seats
14 PC
7 LIB
4 GRN
1 NDP
(one seat missing?)

Popular vote
30%
28%
28%
13%
