Through the months of May and June, Poletical's non-scientific online poll placed Olivia Chow in front with 38% and Tory, Soknacki and Ford in a tight race for second place. As with the Ontario general election, polls carried out by reputable polling firms have proven to be as incapable of predicting the outcome of an election as any non-scientific poll.
Poletical will continue to track the Toronto municipal election as honestly and accurately as possible, using different methods to weigh votes received exclusively from Toronto IP addresses. This poll will extend beyond regular Poletical readers and reach people of all ages and political stripes via social media. Only votes from Toronto IP addresses will be counted and any votes from outside Toronto or from "unknown" locations will be discarded.
If you live in Toronto and plan to vote in October, please participate in the poll. Only one vote per IP address will be counted. Results will be published in September.
