Bloc Québécois candidate Christine Normandin is the projected winner in the riding of Saint-Jean.
A large, predominately rural seat in southeast Montérégie, the riding of Saint–Jean includes most of the municipality of Le Haut-Richelieu.
The majority of voters are in the city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
The riding has been represented in the House of Commons since 1968, and like many Quebec electoral districts outside Montréal, has followed a similar voting pattern.
Voters elected Bloc Québécois MPs exclusively between 1993 and 2011, Progressive Conservative candidates from 1984 to 1993, and Liberal candidates throughout the Pierre Trudeau era.
