MapleBallot is independent and unofficial. Every number is read from Elections Canada, the House of Commons, a provincial election authority or the pollster that published it. Confirm with the authority before relying on a result.

Frequently asked questions

What does MapleBallot show?

Federal election results riding by riding, live on election night and validated afterwards; who sits in the House of Commons today; scheduled federal, provincial and territorial votes; and published opinion polls, grouped by pollster.

Is MapleBallot official?

No. It reads public data and shows it as published. It never calls a winner: a result is "unofficial" until the returning officer validates it, and the app says so on every screen.

Why do the numbers differ from the news?

Broadcasters project winners; MapleBallot does not. It shows the count as Elections Canada publishes it, refreshed about every minute, with the number of polls reporting. The figures can lag a few minutes behind the source.

What does "Elected" mean on a riding page?

It appears only when Elections Canada's Official Voting Results mark the candidate as elected. Before that, the app shows who is leading, never who has won.

Where do the polls come from?

From tables compiled by Wikipedia contributors, where every row links to the pollster's release, and from the Angus Reid Institute's own public polls, tables and reports. Nothing is averaged or projected.

Do you show provincial results?

Not yet. The Provincial screen lists the votes each authority has announced, with their dates, ridings and voter pages, and links to the authority for results.

How do I find my riding?

Open My riding from the menu and type an address or postal code, or tap Use my current location. Location is matched on your phone and never sent anywhere.

Why did I not get a notification?

Notifications are off until you enable them in Settings. They cover only the ridings and votes you follow, and only votes in the current year. Delivery depends on Apple's push service and is not guaranteed.

Can I use the app in French?

Yes. It follows your iPhone's language, and Settings → Language switches it inside the app.

How do I delete my data?

Turn notifications off to remove the push token, and delete the app to remove everything on the device. See the Privacy Policy for what the backend keeps and for how long.
