The electoral district was created in 1966 from parts of the ridings of King's and Queen's, with minor modifications to its boundaries since.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, at the first election held after April 22, 2024. It will lose all of its territory in North Shore and the North Shore Fire District, plus everything west of Highway 6 between them to Malpeque.

Under the Representation Order, the geographic boundaries of this riding are described as follows:

Consisting of:

(a) the County of Kings;

(b) that part of the County of Queens comprised of: lots 35, 36, 37, 48, 49, 50, 57, 58, 60 and 62; the Town of Stratford; and

(c) Governors Island and all other islands adjacent to the County of Kings and to the above-mentioned lots.

(See the map of Cardigan riding.)

Student vote results

2011 election

In 2011, a student vote was conducted at participating Canadian schools to parallel the 2011 Canadian federal election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district where they were physically located.
