About electionreport.org

This is an open source tool/service for reporters to use to track, display and of course, report on elections.

Elections can be for anything:

• Clubs
• Charities
• NGOs
• Local councils
• and of course regular elections

There are two parts to the system:

1. The reporting portion which is a responsive, mobile friendly mini-survey
2. The WarRoom where the results are displayed

Reporter Mobile App

The mobile app is a hybrid app that will be available on the Android and iPhone platforms only.

Data gathered:

• Exit Polls
• Sentimnent Survey
• Voter Intentions (for no polling day events- e.g. campaign events) to capture data for accurate simulations
• Rally / Event Sentiments
• Campaign Promises
• Policy Sentiment
• Hot Topic Sentiment

RoadMap

The current version supppots the main PeaceRoom and the reporter modules. In the future we plan to have a heirarchy structure, so for something like a national election, local distrct vote, then state/county level, then national level.
