Known gaps
Polimeter aims to list every elected official in office in Canada. It does not yet. Municipal coverage is the biggest gap: 1,150 of about 3,500 councils so far. This page says what is missing and why.
What is missing
- Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island elect new municipal councils this fall. The new councils take office in November, so the outgoing ones are deliberately not loaded. In British Columbia, 16 Metro Vancouver councils (including Richmond, Surrey and Burnaby) are already listed as elected, from each municipality's official results, and counted once they take office (by November 10). Vancouver, Coquitlam, the District of North Vancouver, White Rock and Belcarra are not loaded yet: their results sit behind a bot check, in scanned documents without text, or in a page that only builds itself in the browser.
- Outside Quebec and the Northwest Territories, only the largest cities are covered so far. Smaller municipalities in the other provinces, and all of Yukon and Nunavut, are not covered yet.
- British Columbia voted on October 24, 2026. Its new members of the legislature are listed once results are certified on November 18.
- The Nova Scotia House of Assembly website cannot yet be read by our daily update, so its members and premier are missing for now.
- In Quebec, borough councillors in Montréal and other large cities, and elected regional county prefects, are not included yet.
- Photos appear only when an openly licensed one exists on Wikimedia Commons. Municipal officials have no photos yet.
- Earlier roles are shown for MPs and senators, from Wikidata. Provincial and municipal officials do not have them yet, and Wikidata can miss a role (ministries are the most often incomplete).
