Data visualization ideas #32

Open planemad opened 5 years ago

There are interesting election datasets which if joined could make some very cool visualizations:

2014 election stats - India votes
Election statistics - Data.gov.in
India National and State Election Dataset - Harvard Constituency wise list of candidates and votes polled 1977-2015

Add any ideas for thematic maps that is likely to be useful for voters in the runup to election

One idea would be to fill the AC / PC with coloring by 2014 winning party wise. But this can also be viewed as influencing the current elections (or maybe it's just me.)

To circumvent this, there can another "tab" in the infobox, "2014 Elections" and this would colorize the AC and PCs.

Its certainly useful to know the current representative and party. A tab or a drop down that can switch to different visualization modes sounds reasonable.

Do you think your own decision to vote might be influenced by knowing this information?

Some amazing work at https://factchecker.in/constituency-check/index.html to view progress indicators by constituency.

Would be pretty interesting to visualize the overall constituency score along with incumbent details #48 and also link to to it from each constituency.
