Yukon Electoral Polling Divisions Based on 2021 Revision

Yukon electoral districts and polling divisions are defined by the Electoral Districts Boundaries Act. The linework was created by interpreting the Act using 1:50,000 scale NTDB, NRN, City of Whitehorse, and legal survey data. The polling divisions were revised in March 2021.

Use Cases

• Map electoral district boundaries using the interpreted linework data for spatial analysis.
• Analyze polling division geography derived from the 1:50,000 scale National Topographic Database.
• Integrate electoral boundaries with municipal data using the City of Whitehorse feature dataset.
• Update civic address or service delivery systems with the March 2021 revision of polling divisions.

Strengths

• Boundaries are legally defined by the Electoral Districts Boundaries Act (SY 2008, c. 14).
• Linework is derived from authoritative sources including the 1:50,000 scale National Topographic Database.
• Data incorporates the City of Whitehorse feature dataset and legal survey of Canada data.
• Polling divisions were updated in a March 2021 revision.

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and specific column attributes are unknown.
• Available only in HTML format, which is not a standard geospatial data format for direct analysis.
• The underlying source data (e.g., NTDB) may have a publication date prior to the 2021 revision.
