Federal Election Strategic Voting Tool

By: Lawrence Gridin · October 3, 2008 · Filed Under Politics · 3 Comments 

Google Maps Strategic Voting ToolWith the federal election just two weeks away, many are still scrambling to decide which name they should tick off on the ballot.

A friend of mine turned me on to an interesting Google Maps mashup which allows you to enter your postal code and see an estimation of the latest poll results for your riding.

The tool is designed with strategic voting in mind.

It is a pro-environment leaning website, and the goal of the authors is to see the Liberals, NDP, Bloc, and Greens win the most seats in the house of commons. Therefore, the website makes recommendations about which of these three parties you should strategically vote for in a particular riding to shut the Conservatives out of a seat.

However, even if you are a Conservative voter, you may still be interested to see how your candidate is doing in the latest polls.

I highly recommend checking it out.

The website is Vote For Environment / Voter Pour l’Environnement.
