FAQ

  • Where does the data come from?

    Postal code-to-riding matches come from the OpenNorth Represent API.

    Voter counts are from the 2023 Ontario Liberal Party leadership election results, broken down by ridings.

  • What does it mean for a vote to be worth more?

    In the 2023 Ontario Liberal Party leadership race, each riding was allocated 100 points regardless of how many members voted there. That means in a riding with 50 voters, each person influenced those 100 points far more than someone in a riding with 500 voters.

    This tool compares two ridings by their voter turnout – the riding with fewer voters is the one where your vote carries more influence.

  • How does this tool work?

    Enter two Ontario postal codes. The tool looks up which riding each postal code belongs to, then compares the number of people who voted in each riding in 2023. It tells you which riding had fewer voters, and therefore where a single vote has more impact.

  • Can I vote in a riding I don't live in?

    No, you must be able to prove that you live at that address.

    You may reside at multiple addresses – perhaps you're a student who splits time between school and your family home, or you have a cottage where you spend parts of the year – so you may want to consider where you register your membership.

    Always make sure your OLP membership information is accurate and up-to-date.

  • How do I sign up to vote?
