Req # A-2019-00094

I am interested in mobile polling stations and in ordinary polls in seniors’ residences where a large number of electors reside. I would like to know how many of these two types of polling stations are in each electoral district. The purpose of this request is to obtain a list of polling stations located in seniors’ residences, with information on the electoral district to which they belong. I would like to obtain this information for as many years as possible (from 1997 to 2019, if possible) in .csv, .doc or .txt format. Ideally, I would like to be able to cross-reference this data with the data already available on your website. For example, if you know the numbers of the polling stations located in seniors’ residences (with the number of the corresponding electoral district), I could cross-reference the information myself with the .csv files available on the internet.
