To close to call?
I suspect we could possibly hazard a guess as to who will win....
I agree but I only call it when another result is mathematically impossible.
I would Guess that James is doing better than last time and will get about 96 votes Pirates 20 BP 13
It would be interesting to compare total vote numbers with previous elections too, so we can see how the population is changing - especially with an incumbent re-running..
(in the bottom projection part - total votes 10x% or 90% etc)
It is only possible to do that when the election is over as I don't have time based figures for turnout (which would differ over time anyway the last CP election had a turnout of 117 congress was up to 129! which I think is the biggest for a while
Oh, i thought you had a record somewhere of everytime you did an update, my bad!
It would be nice if I had ... but no at one point I started to write something that would do that.. but I suspect it would be of limited use as the pattern would likely change a lot based on weekend/weekday voting
Other things likely to elect the turnout would be perceived closeness of the result and difference between the candidates.. I would expect congress elections to have a bigger turnout as there are a lot more candidates!
It's held surprisingly steady for a while the last time I had a look. Couldn't tell you what it's been like the past few months, you've bored me to apathy...
Are you stuck on repeat?
I haven't mentioned the election statistics for ages, what you going on about...

"too early to call" is the term they use in USA on election night I believe and then it's only "too close to call" if there's doubt as to the likely winner as the precincts report their returns.
Yes but they have precincts so they can see how the vote has changed in each area so they can tell the swing from the last election.. we don't have precincts and I can't tell who has voted and who hasn't. Perhaps too early to call for sure is a better interpretation .. I have tried to include a likely result as well.
well obviously it's your call as you're the one doing the work and writing the article, but certainly too early to call seems the obvious choice when it's still too early to predict a winner.
In addition you can see how many votes were cast in previous elections and you can see how many votes were cast at all times during polling day. This means that you could try comparing raw voting figures based on previous elections - though obviously you won't be able to know the size of the electorate or the turnout rate overall until voting has closed.
no votes were disallowed
