Which Way Will the World Vote?
Around 64 countries are holding their elections in 2024, among them Indonesia, India, European Union, and the United States. Using data from the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, I analyzed the political affiliations of winning candidates and the average voter turnout percentage and plotted it in a diverging bar chart where the left side represents progressive/democratic and the right side represents conservative/republican. Where in the x-axis shows average voter turnout percentage, while the y-axis is a calendar that shows when the elections will take place.
This project comes with an auto-scraper that will regularly churn out an updated data.csv file to show the most recent elections that were held. The auto-scraper uses Python, Playwright, and BeautifulSoup. It runs on GitHub. If you're interested to see it, you can find the code on my GitHub page.
