About the Project
Elections are a massive affair for both media houses and citizens. This tool visualizes the results of the Indian General Election from 2019. The objective was to offer good visual election reporting and let users gain meaningful insights by exploring the visualization.
Hexagonal TIle Grid Map
Tile grid map is a variation of a choropleth map. In this map, areas are reduced to uniform size hexagons and the tiles are arranged to roughly approximate their real-world geographic locations. Tile grid maps avoid the visual imbalances inherent to traditional choropleths because of the area of the regions. Tile grid maps are a great option for mapped region data where areas are not part of the story we're trying to tell with the map.
Since a hexagonal tile grid map didn't exist for the Indian constituency I started first by designing and building an open-source hexagonal tile grid map for Indian constituencies.
The final layout with the visualization looks like this:
