Elections Canada and Statistics Canada have developed a digital national road network, the National Geographic Database(NGD), for electoral and census purposes. With this database, Elections Canada will be able to use electors’ addresses to determine their electoral district and polling division. The new database will also make the National Register of Electors more accessible to other electoral jurisdictions in Canada that have different electoral boundaries. They will be able to superimpose their own electoral districts on the road network and relate these to elector data from the Register. Using National Register of Electors data in place of enumeration can generate significant savings for electoral agencies in the provinces and municipalities. 1, record 3, English, - National%20Geographic%20Database

Élections Canada et Statistique Canada ont conçu un réseau routier numérique national, appelé Base nationale de données géographiques (BNDG), aux fins des élections et des recensements. Grâce à cette base de données, Élections Canada pourra déterminer la circonscription et la section de vote d'un électeur à l'aide de son adresse. De plus, la nouvelle base de données facilitera le partage des données du Registre national des électeurs avec les organismes électoraux du Canada qui utilisent des délimitations différentes de celles d'Élections Canada. Ces organismes pourront obtenir les données sur les électeurs du registre en fonction de leurs propres circonscriptions, en superposant leurs limites sur le réseau routier. En remplaçant le recensement par les données du Registre national des électeurs, les organismes électoraux des provinces et des municipalités pourront réaliser d'importantes économies. 2, record 3, French, - Base%20nationale%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20g%C3%A9ographiques
