Impact

The Central Election Commission of Kosovo makes election results and statistics available in raw formats and structures that are difficult to process for the public. Our solution brings together all election data in a single powerful environment and allows easy access to the most detailed information available for Kosovo's elections since 2010. Using our solution, political parties, analysts, and the public are able to visually search, analyze, and explore results for candidates and parties, voting trends, turnouts, irregularities and more, from national to hyper-local levels.

Visual Data Analytics and Dashboarding

We designed the dashboards and visualizations that make election result data explorable for different analysis levels fit to the Kosovo electoral system for national and local elections.

Web Design and Development

We created a multi-layered structure that allows users to navigate results across election types, years, locations, and ballot types, and analyze data using Keshif advanced dashboards.

Data Preparation

We processed data from different formats and structures (PDF and Excel), and transformed multiple election types and rounds into a unified data methodology. We generated the data from polling-station level results and automatically aggregated to polling center, municipality and up to national level.

Other Services

We created an architecture that supports multiple languages, provides raw and aggregate data exports for each location, saving and sharing filtered dashboards, user tracking for thousands of pages, and embeddable guides for visual analysis.
