Riding Overview
The electoral district of Durham (Ontario) has a population of 107,435 with 79,911 registered voters and 189 polling divisions.

Clarington-Scugog-Uxbridge riding was created in 2004 from 84 per cent of Durham riding and 16 per cent of Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge riding. Part of the city of Oshawa moved into the Whitby-Oshawa riding and the western boundary moved west to the York-Durham line. The riding of Durham was established in 1903 and in 1966 merged with parts of Oshawa and Ontario ridings to become Durham-Northumberland. It became Durham again in 1986.
