Toronto was an Ontario provincial electoral district that existed from 1886 to 1894. It was created by merging Toronto West and Toronto East ridings into one large riding covering the entire city.
It was abolished prior to the 1894 election when it was split into four new ridings - Toronto North, Toronto South, Toronto East and Toronto West.
It was represented by a combined total of three members. In each election voters were allowed to vote for two candidates. The three candidates with the most votes were the winners.
The first three candidates in the poll were elected to the legislature.
These by-elections were held to replace members who had died in office. In each case only one member was elected for replacement.
