<p>Finding the number of effective votes is simple but a lot of
work. <br>
</p>
<p>Elections Canada has the data here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://elections.ca/res/rep/off/ovr2015app/41/table12E.html">http://elections.ca/res/rep/off/ovr2015app/41/table12E.html</a><br>
</p>
<p>Find the # of votes cast for the second place finisher in each
riding +1 and sum them all up. That's the number of votes that
actually elected the MPs i.e. Effective Votes. <br>
</p>
<p>Total Votes = Effective Votes + Wasted Votes <br>
</p>
<p>In Waterloo Region for example there were 59,849 votes cast, the
second place guy got 19,318 so it took 19,319 votes to elect the
winner. The other 40,530 votes had no effect on the outcome and
were thus not effective votes. Do this another 329 times and
you have the data for the effective votes. The eligible voters
and votes cast should be on the web somewhere. <br>
