Electoral record
Ran, not elected
When Peter Bursztyn held office (lines, coloured by office) and the elections they contested without winning (dots).
Terms are drawn from election records alone: a line runs from each election to the next one for that office — or ends early where winning a different office ended the term — so a resignation for any other reason would not appear here. Hover or tap any mark for the detail; the table below is the record.
| Year | Contest | Votes | Share | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006 | Barrie federal | 6,978 | 12.2% | Not elected |
| 2004 | Barrie federal | 5,312 | 10.7% | Not elected |
Federal and provincial rows come from Elections Canada and Elections Ontario results.
They are a different level of government on a different ballot, so their
vote counts are not comparable with a municipal count. See
the full riding history for how Barrie's ridings have
been drawn and renamed since 1999.
