In Canadian politics, a riding association (French: "association de comté" ), also known as a constituency association and officially called an electoral district association (French: "association de circonscription" ) is the basic unit of a political party, that is it is the party's organization at the level of the electoral district, or "riding".
 Major political parties attempt to have a riding association in each constituency though, usually, these associations are more active in ridings where the party has an elected Member of Parliament or has a reasonable chance of electing an MP in the future, and less active in ridings where the party's prospects have historically been poor.
