Two Toronto ridings vote in by-elections — Beaches—East York on Aug 31, Scarborough Southwest on Sept 3. These stories map who participates and who gets left out, built entirely from public data: Elections Canada's own poll-by-poll returns, the 2021 census, and the City's open map layers. No candidate, no party, no individual appears anywhere. Every figure carries its source, its date, alt text, and a download of the exact data behind it.
