Election Map Projects

[edit]

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

[edit]

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
