The Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier led by liberals were able to expand their absolute majority.

The choice

The ruling Liberal Party of Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier, the first French-speaking prime minister of the country had, in 1896 the absolute majority of parliamentary seats won, though she had at that time obtained fewer votes than the Conservative Party and the Liberal - Conservative associated with them.

In the elections of 1900, the Liberals were the first party to unite ever more than 50% of the vote, thereby expanding their majority in parliament. The opposition Conservative to Charles Tupper suffered slight losses.

The turnout was 77.4 %.
