Riding brief

Know what winning this seat actually takes, before you spend a dollar.

What this gets you

  • The number of votes it took to win last time, and the margin you have to close.
  • Whether the district moved at the last boundary change, and what that did to the result.
  • Who lives there now: ages, tenure, languages and income.
  • Which parts of the district actually turn out, so a door program goes where the votes are.

Delivered as a PDF you can hand to a campaign manager, and as a page on your site if you want one.

Where it comes from

A brief starts from three files: the election authority's voting results, the current boundary file and the census profile for the district. Every figure names the file it came from, so any number in the brief can be opened.
