The Conservatives are projected to retain most of the seats in Saskatchewan, according to early voting results in the 2021 federal election.
The Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan, Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek, Battlefords-Lloydminster, Souris-Moose Mountain, Yorkton-Melville, Prince Albert, Cypress Hills-Grasslands, Saskatoon-Grasswood, Regina-Wascana, Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River and Regina-Qu'Appelle ridings are all projected to remain within the Conservatives' grasp.
Three races — Regina-Lewvan, Saskatoon-University and Saskatoon West — have yet to be decided.
