about us
Vote.ca organizes election and voting information around your location in Canada.
Citizens use vote.ca to get their essential voting info, candidates use it to get out their supporters, and government promotes civic awareness and easy access to the vote.
In the 2011 federal election we helped voters across Canada find where to vote by republishing and mapping voting place data from the Elections Canada Voter Information Service and we also listed and linked all candidates for convenience, as can be seen here.
In the 2010 and 2011 municipal elections in Alberta, BC, Manitoba and Ontario we mapped advance voting places, and for Edmonton, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver we mapped ward-specific voting places for advance voting and election day, thanks to their open electoral datasets and initiatives like this, this, this and this.
Vote.ca was created by Larry Franschman, with programming by Michael Mulley, as an open data/open government effort, organizing public election info around your ward, electoral district or riding, the building blocks of our democracy in Canada.
See also civic.ca where we help organize government services and display your elected representatives by location in Canada.
We really appreciate your comments, suggestions or corrections at contact@vote.ca or data@vote.ca. Thank you!
