𧬠System Components
Vote Prediction Module
The heart of this system lies in its ability to forecast candidate performance. The output provides an estimate of the percentage of votes each candidate is likely to receive. This predictive model adapts as new data becomes available, ensuring accuracy throughout the campaign period.
Real Count Integration
During election day, real-time data matters. This system seamlessly integrates with official vote counting processes. As valid votes are tallied, the dashboard updates in real-time, reflecting the actual performance of each candidate. This feature is particularly crucial for candidates and their campaign teams, as it provides immediate feedback on their progress.
Seat Projection
Beyond individual vote shares, this system calculates the potential seat distribution in the legislative body. By considering proportional representation and electoral district boundaries, it estimates the number of seats each party or coalition may secure.
