Canadian federal election results in Central Toronto

This page shows results of Canadian federal elections in the central, earlier-development areas of Toronto—in particular, Old Toronto (what was the city of Toronto prior to the 1998 amalgamation), the former Borough of York, most of the former City of East York, and the southern, older portions of the former City of North York, in particular those south of Highway 401 and west of Leslie Street.

Regional profile
Until 1962, most ridings in inner Toronto were Progressive Conservative strongholds, aside from splits with the Liberals in the 1949 and 1953 elections. Since 1962, Central Toronto, particularly Old Toronto, has generally leaned to the political left or centre-left. Most elections in the 1960s resulted in a small handful (most often two or three) of New Democratic Party (NDP) seats with the Liberals taking all or most of the rest. Between 1972 and 1988, inclusive, the Tories usually split Toronto seats almost evenly with the Liberals (1972, 1979, 1984) or were reduced to about the same number of seats as the NDP (1974, 1980, 1988) with the Grits taking the lion's share. In 1993, 1997, and 2000, the Grits held every seat in the former Metro Toronto, in some cases with large margins. The NDP broke through to win a seat in the 2004 election, when its new leader Jack Layton took Toronto–Danforth, and did slightly better in each of the next two elections, held in 2006 and 2008.

In 2011, the Liberal vote collapsed under the onslaught of both the Conservatives and the NDP, with the Conservatives taking two uptown ridings, the Liberals retaining two downtown ridings along Yonge Street, and the NDP winning the remaining six. Before then, centre-right parties had been completely shut out in central Toronto since the PCs lost all their seats in 1993. The region reverted to its post-1990 form in 2015, as a massive surge in Liberal support allowed the Liberals to sweep Toronto.
