cmgiven / open-election-map Goto Github PK

Is it possible to use this for another country?

1. The position of the map kind of fights with the ability to see the dashboard w/ the actual data. The main issue is that you have to shift your browser resolution to get the full map and the dashboard in the same view.
2. There is also some weirdness w/ displaying the hover-over data in the dash because it means you have to roll over and off to see how the location compares to the totality of returns at that moment.
3. Specifically, if you have it, metadata about the district would be great, like what ward it is in, how many votes are actually coming from that precinct, maybe some select data that is also feeding the filters that you have on the side (which are awesome).

Just my thoughts. Really looking forward to this.

A civic.json file provides information about this project that's not included in the Github metadata. The full details of the format are here. Just put it in the root of your repo and we'll automatically display that info on the projects page.

Code for DC also has a tool to help put the file together here, and a validator to make sure everything's in the right place here.

(Also, since Code for DC is tracking this project, any issues tagged with help wanted will show up on http://codefordc.org/projects/helpwanted.html. If you are stuck on something, try that!)
