Election Map Projects

While my maps aren't the best or most impressive things out there, I love creating them for Wikipedia because they can bring more insights into elections that aren't possible just through boring text, especially for visual learners. Feel free to help me in my goal of mapping every election possible :D

Tutorials and Databases

To create a map, you first have to find a shapefile if an svg of the thing you're trying to map isn't on wikimedia commons. Then, once you find a shapefile (it has to be under a creative commons license) plug it into https://mapshaper.org/ and convert to an svg. Then import it into https://inkscape.org/ or any app that allows for svgs and edit it how you please for the election. Category:WikiProject Elections and Referendums has some established colors for parties in several countries. I prefer these colors

For Nigerian elections, Grid3 has a dataset of administrative boundaries for each state

Mapping

Missing data

• 1788 Polish-Lithuanian legislative election - There is already a map of the Voivodeships now I just need to find each member and their party

• 2023 Turkmen parliamentary election - seat distribution

Redo

• 2006 Ugandan general election - very ugly district map
• 2016 Ugandan general election - very ugly map that also might be wrong in a place
• 2022 Papua New Guinean general election - update open electorate map for a later election
• 2022 Papua New Guinean general election - the provincial electorate map is a compressed png
• 2023 Liberian general election - I'm pretty sure the electoral districts are the old ones before redistricting (only slight changes needed)
