Global News is projecting Conservative candidate Anna Roberts getting elected in King–Vaughan.
King–Vaughan riding is in Ontario’s York Region and consists partly of King Township and part of the City of Vaughan.
Its rough boundaries are Highway 9 and Davis Drive to the north, Bathurst Street to the east, the King-Caledon Line to the west and Major Mackenzie Drive, Highway 400 and Rutherford Road to the south.
The riding has a population of 131,995 people and is 426 square kilometres wide, according to the most recent census.
The King–Vaughan riding was created out of parts of the Oak Ridges–Markham and Vaughan ridings. In 2012, there was a federal electoral boundaries redistribution and it was legally defined in the 2013 representation order.
