Title: I need electoral GIS/mapping work done Post by: Bimmerhead on March 20, 2013, 02:50:04 AM I need a poll-by-poll map of a Ontario provincial riding that shows colour-coded results.
For example, each poll should be either dark blue (large Conservative win), light blue (narrower Conservative win), light red (narrow Liberal win), dark red (large Liberal win), light orange (narrow NDP win) etc. etc. The percentage vote of the winner, and the voter turnout percentage should also be shown in each poll I am unfamiliar with the mechanics of solving this problem, but I suspect it has something to do with using these files to create the map: http://www.elections.on.ca/en-CA/Tools/ElectoralDistricts/LimitedUseDataProductLicenceAgreement.htm And this data to determine the winner/colour of each poll: http://www.wemakevotingeasy.ca/media/EO_Site/unofficial_244/results_2011csv.zip Then I'm guessing I'd want to be able to view the maps in something like this: http://www.giscloud.com/ Can pay in BTC or USD.

Can anyone tell me if I'm at least headed in the right direction. Title: Re: I need electoral GIS/mapping work done Post by: hashcode on March 20, 2013, 09:12:41 PM You've got the right idea, there's just a wealth of data in that election results file that would take a bit of time to compile into something usable for a map.
I'd be confident making jpgs of the maps you needed, but I'm only slightly familiar with the web based gis mapping you linked. I'd be glad to take a look at doing this for you if you want to discuss timeframe/budget issues.

If you got that, I can do the rest.

If you got that, I can do the rest. The only data I have is that linked to in the OP. Actually it would be a subset of that data, as I'm just looking for one electoral district to be done, not all 107. What other data would you need?
