During the 2015 federal election, I did a lot of work mapping ridings and results. I combined information from Elections Canada and GeoGratis to make the maps — a process that required knowledge of Excel spreadsheets, QGIS software and Google Fusion Tables.
Unfortunately, Google has discontinued Fusion Tables, and the maps are no longer available online, but they allowed users to see colour-coded riding-by-riding results across the country. I also made a Vancouver Island map that broke results down by poll, so you could see which party got votes in different areas.
