Oh yeah! Later on I'll do maps for '07 and '03, maybe some swings too.

Of course.

Excellent. Do you have your key somewhere? I don't see any numbers on it on this map.

Here you go:

Interesting. Poll 10 of Charlottetown - Parkdale was the NDP's best poll in the province federally where they got a majority of votes. However, provincially they got just 16 votes. But, they did finish third, just 3 votes off the Tories. Poll 9 was the worst poll for the Tories federally, and provincially was at least the worst in the riding where they almost finished third (one vote more than the Greens).

Also, Poll 5 of Charlottetown - Brighton was the federal poll where I suspected an error in the tabulation. It happens to be the worst poll for the NDP provincially, but they still managed to get 8 votes whereas federally the data says they got just 1 vote. This reinforces my suspicion. Federally the poll is supposed to the Green's best on the island, but provincially it's not even their best in the riding.

How do you know which polls in the provincial data correspond to the federal ones?

Pretty easy to find. Elections PEI has google maps of each riding with their polls. It looks like the provincial polls match the federal polls and even the municipal polls (at least in Charlottetown).

How do I match up the federal results with the individual precincts in Charlottetown and Summerside? That is, how do I know which district corresponds to "Charlottetown 57" from the federal results in the Charlottetown riding? The results from Elections Canada just show polls with the name of the city and a number and not the locality/street name given by Elections PEI.

Thanks, Hatman and Smid, you're the best. You will be richly rewarded for your help.

FTR, the eastern part of PEI is traditionally more conservative

Why is that?

I think you'll like this one, Earl. Right-click, of course.

NDP didn't win any districts, but came within 13 votes of taking Victoria Park.
