The BC Ridings are - Victoria- two seat district that is the southern tip of the island's blue, Vancouver, which is not the city of Vancouver (which barely exists yet), but rather the remainder of Vancouver Island, New Westminster, which is the smallest mainland riding, Yale-Cariboo, which is the Interior Riding, and Burrard, which inclues the area around Burrard inlet in the City of Vancouver and the Coast north to the Yukon

Saskatchewan is rather broad, as this is prior to the creation of Saskatchewan and Alberta, when these areas were part of the Northwest Territories. the District of Alberta was somewhat narrower than the post 1905 Province.

I'd never realized that there was a period in which only part of the NWT was represented in Parliament. Presumably it was because these districts had significant white settlement. Interesting.

IIRC, 1965 was the first election where ridings covered the entire country

The Wikipedia article I was just reading on the NWT ridings suggests it was 1962. That would make some sense since Diefenbaker extended the franchise to Status Indians in 1960.

1900- largely similar ridings

I just stumbled upon this- great stuff.

I do recognize the map outline as my own (well, stolen from StatsCan originally)- but that's okay obviously. Do you plan on doing any more? 

[Citizen Hats]

If I have time. They get harder the further you get from 1867.  Feel free to post them on your atlas blog if it's your base map

Thanks. I may end  up using shades as well if I put them on my blog. I would eventually like a map of every election, but I haven't had the time.

Argentina 2007: Presidential Election.

Candidates with more than 1% of the vote:

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner/ Julio César Cobos (FPV) 45.29%

Elisa Carrió/ Rubén Giustiniani (CC) 23.04%

Roberto Lavagna/ Gerardo Morales (Concertación UNA) 16.91%

Alberto Rodríguez Saá/ Héctor Maya (FREJULI) 7.64%

Fernando Solanas/ Ángel Francisco Cardelli (PSA) 1.58%

Ricardo López Murphy/ Esteban Bullrich (Recrear) 1.43%

Jorge Sobisch/ Jorge Asís (MPU) 1.4%


The media narrative emphasized that CFdK lost in the main cities of the country. Elisa Carrió won a plurality in the first (Buenos Aires) and in the third (Rosario, Santa Fe) main cities of the country and Roberto Lavagna in the second (Córdoba). Evidently, that narrative didn't take into account the populous cities of Greater Buenos Aires (GBA) nor the rest of the country. The most populated municiplity in GBA, La Matanza, has more inhabitants than the city of Córdoba. Most of provincial capitals went to La Presidenta. Some results in urban areas:

Greater Buenos Aires* (pop. 9.75 million, INDEC 2010): 

Cristina Fernández 47.09%; Elisa Carrió 23.14%; Roberto Lavagna 12.75%; Rodríguez Saá 6.28%.

* 24 municipalities in Buenos Aires province, excluding the City of Buenos Aires.

City of Buenos Aires (2.9 million)Elisa Carrió 37.77%; Cristina Fernández 23.78%; Roberto Lavagna 18.39%; Rodríguez Saá 8.31%; Fernando Solanas 4.09%; López Murphy 3.96%.

Córdoba (1.3 million): Roberto Lavagna 35.31%; Cristina Fernández 23.84%; Elisa Carrió 19%; Rodríguez Saá 14.69%.

Rosario (Sante Fe, 1.2 million): Elisa Carrió 41.9%; Cristina Fernández 33.12%; Roberto Lavagna 11.21%; Rodríguez Saá 6.46%.

La Plata (BsAS, 0.85 million): Elisa Carrió 36.33%; Cristina Fernández 34.02%; Roberto Lavagna 14.03%; Rodríguez Saá 6.41%.

Mar del Plata (BsAS, General Pueyrredón department, 0.6): Elisa Carrió 39.07%; Crisitna Fernández 32.9%; Roberto Lavagna 13.55%; Rodríguez Saá 6.95%

San Miguel de Tucumán (Tucuman, 0.5) Cristina Fernández 54.31%; Roberto Lavagna 19.72%; Elisa Carrió 15.85%; Rodríguez Saá 3.41%.

Salta (0.5): Cristina Fernández 63.27%; Roberto Lavagna 18.37%; Elisa Carrió 10.89%; Rodríguez Saá 2.07%.

It's a pity the lack of homogeneous data, because I downloaded the provincial results from the official website and there are results of men's and women's booths in many districts, but not in the most important, BsAs province. Also, I had to calculate myself the results in Santa Cruz province by department from the crappy provincial site (they have results collected by localities or groups of them and it seems they don't know how to calculate vote percentages). Anyway it seems that Elisa Carrió and her Civic Coalition/Socialist ticket gathered great support among urban middle classes and was preferred by women in greater percentages than she was by men. Santa Fe province was tightly contested between CFdK and Carrió, the first winning the masculine vote and the second the feminine. The Lavagna ticket was a strange coalition between supporters of the Peronist Lavagna (former minister of Economy) and the 'official' UCR (radicals K backed Kirchner with the `traitor' Cobos).

BC, 2006 Federal Election, by Polling Division

[Tieteobserver]

Results of the last 4 presidential elections by Municipality (roughly the same as US Counties):

=========================================================

1998 Elections


=========================================================

2002 Elections - 1st round


2002 Elections - 2nd round


=========================================================

2006 Elections - 1st round


2006 Elections - 2nd round


=========================================================

2010 Elections - 1st round


2010 Elections - 2nd round


=========================================================

Its remarkable how in 2010 there was very little change between both rounds, despite the fact that the 3rd Party, PV, whose candidate was Marina Silva, did quite well.

Also sticks out the fact that despite winning a lofty amount of votes in 1998, Lula managed to gain the majority virtually nowhere except for the western half of Rio Grande do Sul, a clear evidence of the never ending influence of the late Leonel Brizola, a far left politician, on that state (and that area particularly).

But even more surprising is how Lula was able to grow so fast between the loss of 1998 and his victory of 2002, and how he flipped the Brazilian political map: before his support was strongest in Rio Grande do Sul, our southernmost state. Whilst it remains the most petista state in the South, its doesn't nearly lean as much to the left as do the Northeastern states.

I don't think America has ever saw, nor will ever see, something like that.

certainly doesn't look like Lula lead 1998...

Whilst he didn't lead in 1998, and in fact 1998 was the last time the candidate managed to get a majority of the votes right at the 1st round, it was really weird: there was consensus throughout the country, except of course for those few areas, against Lula.

BC, 2006 Federal Election, by Polling Division

Nice map.

Sorry to be the guy with the quibble, but looking at the506's riding maps from this election, I think the southern Queen Charlotte/Haida Gwaii poll is wrong. (It's not like I have all polls memorized or was combing the map for errors; that one just jumped out at me since it's in a distinctive location and a very unlikely place to vote Conservative).

[Hatman 🍁]

He's right, the Tories only won 17% there in 2006 according to election-atlas.ca

[Citizen Hats]

So it is. I'll have to go figure out why it did that

odd. all my data files say the NDP won it. I wonder why it rendered blue?

[Smid]

Regardless of the accuracy of that poll, it is an awesome map!

And these maps really make BC SOuthern Interior look like an NDP gerrymander. The new riding is much more contiguous to the extent that it has a real name

Gerrymander? The NDP has one seat in the interior.

[Citizen Hats]

Yes, and it's very awkward shaped narrowly connecting two lumps of NDP support

[Hatman 🍁]

I see your point, but the NDP should have a seat in the interior.
