Show only Toronto election coverage

[mikaalnaik]

Toronto is the only election coverage we're standing behind right now. Brampton, Hamilton and Ottawa have built-out pages, and Toronto's /vote/get-involved page exists, but none of them should be reachable.

What changed

Registry (src/lib/elections/registry.ts) — added an optional hidden flag to SupportedElection and set it on Brampton, Hamilton and Ottawa. The configs stay so those route folders keep type-checking; turning a region back on is one line.

/vote index (src/app/vote/data.ts) — hidden elections are dropped from the list entirely, rather than listed without a link the way genuinely uncovered elections are.

Redirects (next.config.ts)

• Everything under /{brampton,hamilton,ottawa}/vote/* and their legacy /elections shapes → /vote
• /elections/brampton/2026* → /vote (previously pointed at the Brampton page)
• /toronto/vote/get-involved and /toronto/elections/get-involved → /toronto/vote/2026

All of the new redirects are temporary (307) so nothing sticks in a browser cache when a region comes back. The generic /:city(toronto|brampton|hamilton|ottawa)/elections rules are narrowed to Toronto, and the hidden cities get their own rules ahead of them, so no redirect chains through another.

/ottawa/vote/2026	307 → /vote
/ottawa/vote/2026/pledge/abc	307 → /vote
/brampton/vote/2026	307 → /vote
/hamilton/vote/2026	307 → /vote
/ottawa/elections/2026	307 → /vote
/elections/brampton/2026	307 → /vote

/toronto/elections/get-involved	307 → /toronto/vote/2026
/toronto/vote/2026	200
/toronto/elections/2026	308 → /toronto/vote/2026

/vote renders City of Toronto only. tsc --noEmit clean; npm run lint has 0 errors (4 pre-existing warnings in unrelated files).

Notes

• Nothing in the codebase linked to /toronto/vote/get-involved, so there were no nav or CTA links to strip.
• The pledge API (/api/elections/pledge) still accepts hidden slugs like ottawa-2026 in its allowlist. No UI reaches it now — say the word if it should reject them too.
• The sitemap doesn't enumerate election pages, so nothing to remove there.

Greptile Summary

The PR limits published election coverage to Toronto while retaining the hidden cities’ implementation for future reactivation.

• Marks Brampton, Hamilton, and Ottawa elections as hidden and removes them from the /vote index.
• Redirects hidden-city election routes and Toronto’s disabled get-involved routes to supported destinations.
• Adds a registry-backed Toronto nomination-close date used consistently by API and fallback views.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge because no blocking failure remains in the eligible follow-up scope.

No blocking failure remains.
