CBC Radio 1 interviewed the guy behind Vote Mate - a similar site for BC.

He began when he was 15yo and peeved that he couldn't yet vote yet those 
that could vote did not.


He's done a really nice job of it!


A random example of independent (wacko) running for Vancouver Council:

Slick interface, source code is very clean, I don't recognize any 
framework traces in there.


We've got ~10 parties running in the municipal election, plus parks 
board, plus school board; really need to read up on who's who.


Glad I found this site. It doesn't have the depth of research as 
WRVotes, but there may be some ideas worth incorporating?
