Updated parliamentary constituencies? #5

Open almccon opened 8 years ago

almccon commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to join these shapes with the Brexit referendum results here: http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/find-information-by-subject/elections-and-referendums/upcoming-elections-and-referendums/eu-referendum/electorate-and-count-information but they don't seem to match up. Do the constituencies need to be updated?

The electoral commission results seem to be published by region and local authority district, not by parliamentary constituency (except NI results, which actually are by parliamentary constituency). This may be why you had trouble matching them up.

But, you're probably right that it's worth updating the shapes as some may have changed. I'll make this a priority for sometime this/next week.
