In 2017 Paul Campbell at Culture of Insight wanted to build a different kind of electorate map that could provide a better visual representation of voter density and diversity at a single glance. For 2019, we have updated this with the new and fast mapdeck package from SymbolixAU.
The app was built with R, utilising mapdeck and Shiny, building on Paul's data prep code from 2017. You can view the source code here
Voter numbers for each constituency are divided by 250. The resulting number of dots are then randomly distributed within the constituency boundaries, colour-coded by party.
