选区（canton）是市镇（borough）的行政区划单元，同时也是选举省政务委员（general councillor）的选举辖区。与省（departments）一样，所有选区均由1789年12月22日的法案设立。多数情况下，单个选区涵盖多个市镇（municipalities）。但选区的划定并不完全遵循市镇行政边界：人口规模较大的市镇会被划入多个选区。单个乡（township）仅隶属于且唯一隶属于一个区（arrondissement）。本图层与BD Carto图层#58 N_CANTON_BDC_ddd中的伪选区（pseudo-cantons）图层存在差异，后者包含了各市镇所归属的附属选区（待提供更精细的定义说明）。
