Note:
"Previous" refers to the results from the previous election, and not to the standings in the House of Commons at dissolution.
The Canadian federal election of 1963 was held to elect members of the Canadian House of Commons.
Despite winning 41% of the vote, which is usually sufficient for ensuring the election of a majority government, the Liberals fell seven seats short of their target.
They were again disappointed by the failure of their new partnership with the labour movement to produce an electoral breakthrough, particularly in the province of Ontario, which has the largest population and the largest number of seats in the House of Commons.
