news How Toronto Voted For Mayor

UPDATED



Which wards voted for which mayoral candidate. Map by Marc Lostracco/Torontoist.



The City of Toronto has released their full, official election results. Despite Rob Ford’s election night assertion that Toronto is united, not divided, the voting statistics suggest a different, and stark, picture: downtown wards overwhelmingly backed George Smitherman, and suburban wards overwhelmingly backed Rob Ford. [ : A map showing how strong each ward’s winning candidate’s support was is below. …as is a version of the map above that’s optimized for colourblind readers.]
