Don Iveson's results

I finally got around to making my map of Don Iveson's results in the 2013 Edmonton mayoral election. I was a bit surprised that he won every single polling station across the city. In his worst polling station, he still captured nearly 47% of the vote. His main contenders, Karen Leibovici and Kerry Diotte, MAXED OUT at 37% and 38% respectively.

While there are definite patterns in Iveson's results, I'm not sure if there's a relation to his policies. One of his worst areas was Kerry Diotte's old riding. While this might seem like Kerry Diotte was liked in his old riding, he still lost all those polling stations to Don Iveson. As I said about Andrew Knack's results, the polling stations are too big to notice if there was more support for Don Iveson close to proposed LRT lines. He did have strong support downtown and across the river around the university. Perhaps this shows support for his rezoning policies to create mixed-use, walkable communities through in-fill housing and densification.

In the end, I was very happy to see Don Iveson easily win the election. I agree with many of his policies and hope he will be able to carry out his vision for Edmonton. Plus, it was a lot better than Kerry Diotte sending us back to the 60s.
