Toronto (provincial electoral district)

Toronto was an Ontario provincial electoral district that existed from 1886 to 1894.

It was created by merging Toronto West and Toronto East ridings into one large riding covering the entire city.

Parties did not run more than two candidates, for fear of splitting their votes, so mixed representation was produced in each contest in the Toronto district in 1886 and 1890.

Percentage of votes received does not indicate percentage of voters who favoured the candidate because most or all of the Toronto voters cast two votes.

These by-elections were held to replace members who had died in office.
