The Carleton riding was targeted by the Longest Ballot Committee in the 2025 Canadian federal election, resulting in a total of 91 candidates in the riding and Conservative Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre losing his own seat to the Liberals.
The Longest Ballot Committee is a political movement in Canada, at one time affiliated with the Rhinoceros Party [IT STILL IS], known for flooding ballots with a large number of independent candidates in protest of the first-past-the-post (FPTP) voting system and other electoral reform related issues.
