Newfoundland and Labrador Electoral Map

[Krago]

Here is an alternative map for southwestern Newfoundland:  http://goo.gl/EhJlVM


(1)  The district of Fortune Bay--Cape La Hune keeps its existing boundaries.

(2)  Burgeo and Ramea are added to the St. George's seat, renamed Burgeo--St. George's.

(3)  To keep all the SW seats under the +10% threshold, Gallants is returned to Humber West and Stephenville Crossing is divided between the two adjoining districts.

I think your first map is preferable. Might as well keep all the south coast communities together.

Speaking of which, I believe Quebec will be doing yet another redistribution before the next election.

&*$%!!!! Not again! I thought they were every ten years?

No. It's every two elections. We had one in 2012 and one in 2014.

Quebec uses Registered voters provincially don't they?

This is possible. MaxQue would know. Speaking of which, I believe Quebec will be doing yet another redistribution before the next election.

Yes, Quebec is using registered voters, for obvious reasons.

Minority governments really speed up this process, eh? What happens if a snap election is called before the process is done? I guess under those scenarios there would be three elections on the same map. In any event, we'll need a thread for Quebec's redistribution so I can bitch about the names again

It happened last time. 2008 was done under the 2003/2007 map

I've updated this map to show ridings in eastern Newfoundland where the Bonavista Peninsula is contained in one seat.

The guys at Blunt Objects are going to take a stab at doing a transposition of the 2011 results. I may take a stab at it as well.
