Detailed polling results
Several readers have asked where and when the detailed polling results of the 2019 federal election, showing the number of votes cast for each candidate at every polling station in every riding, will be released.
The information will eventually be released by Elections Canada (https://www.elections.ca/home.aspx), but it could be a lengthy wait. The 2015 federal election was on Oct. 19, 2015, and the detailed polling results were not released until Feb. 29, 2016.
