Electoral Coverage

A little plug for some of the work I’ve been doing over the last few weeks.

Guardian Unlimited will, of course, have full coverage of the election results as the come in overnight. Already you can see a map that shows which parties won each constituency in 2001. Clicking on a constituency will take you to a page about that constituency (for example, here’s Battersea). There’s another version of the map that is currently all white and will fill in with the new colours overnight.

Of course all the stories will appear on the main election page and I’m sure the election blog will be getting lively later on.

There are a couple more goodies that I’ll add to this list once they appear on the site.

I’ll be up all night monitoring our results feed and if everything goes relatively smoothly I’ll be blogging what’s going on here and I also hope to be able to join in the liveblogging discussion over at Chicken Yoghurt.

Busy night. Let’s be careful out there.

Update: Now on the GU site there’s a state of the nation scorecard and a nice little popup version that will auto-refresh for you.

  1. I’ll be sitting up all night to get the Hammersmith & Fulham results onto the site. It should be fun – counts generally are, and this seat is the most marginal in London. I’m just hoping there’s no recount, because I want to catch the tail end of an election party.
