You can use the sidebar to the left to choose which election you wish to view in the content area. Simply select an Election and Office you wish to view. By default, the BallotBoxApp will display the election results of the selected race for the entire city or district. If you want to display election results from just a specific ward or division, you can narrow your query by selecting a ward or a ward and division from the appropriate fields to the left. You can also view results of specific kinds of votes (votes cast either by Absentee Ballot, Machine Vote, or Provisional Ballot) by selecting a value from the Vote Type field.

Once you hit the Submit button and the BallotBoxApp retrieves the requested set of election results, there are several “views” from which you can display the data.

List View – This view displays the data in a table showing the candidate name, party, total votes received, and percentage of votes cast.

When you are in a ward view, simply click the Back to Map link at the bottom left of the map to return to the full city view.
