Canadian Elections SVG Map
Since we have elections so often in Canada, I thought it would be useful to have an SVG election map with a CSS style sheet. The advantage of having a css style sheet is that the results of elections can simply be pasted into the svg file in a text editor without having to colour each district individually using a vector graphics program. Below is a procedure that should help amateur Wikipedians perform this operation with ease.


 * 1) Go to the web site of the Canadian Parliament. They provide election results in HTML format.
 * 2) Choose your election year, then sort by the election result column.
 * 3) Copy the elected and re-elected candidates.
 * 4) Label each district with the appropriate Hex triplet as shown in the example below. If you are good with spreadsheets, you may use this file to make your life easier.
 * 5) Open a pre-existing svg map that uses css styles using a text editor and replace the old style sheet with the new one.
 * 6) Rename the file with the appropriate election year and upload to Wikipedia.

GIF Animation
I have not made maps for years prior to 2004, since some electoral districts have changed since then. Please use one of these files for animations.
