Blacklock’s- Wide Variance In Riding Size

New figures from Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault show a wide variance in the number of voters in federal ridings, a difference of 90,000 or more in some cases. The latest revisions under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act were to ensure each vote carried the same weight with exceptions in extraordinary cases.

“I have determined the number of names appearing on the revised lists of electors for each electoral district,” Perrault wrote in a legal notice. The most sparsely populated riding in the nation, Labrador, has 19,893 voters. The largest constituency, Niagara South, Ont., has 112,960 voters.
