When something interesting happens to one of these tracked candidates, Elector creates an Interesting Event for this status and identifies the candidate, their riding, and their region with a star icon. Image Added When you see the star icon in Flow, you instantly know that something noteworthy is happening. For example, a candidate flagged as a former journalist in Flow who starts leading their riding by 10% of the votes is interesting. Elector creates an Interesting Event for this candidate and posts these events on the Flow Home page as well as on the Candidates of Interest page.

Each Interesting Event is time-sensitive and includes a running age stamp. As new election result data becomes available, Elector creates and posts new Interesting Events to the top of the events lists just like breaking news stories to ensure that you see the most recent election details available.

New Interesting Events are only generated when something new and interesting happens to a tracked candidate. For example, if Mike Brown was leading by 10% at 8:00 PM but at 10:00 PM was still only leading by about 10%, even though thousands of additional votes were tallied, Elector would not generate new Interesting Events because Mike's status was relatively unchanged. When the polls close, if Mark were declared the winner, Elector would generate a new Interesting Event to report that Mike won his riding, for his party, and that the riding either stayed the same or changed parties.

Personal Watch Lists

You can flag ridings that are important to you, such regional or tight races, by flagging ridings to create your own Personal Watch List in Flow.

You can manage your Personal Watch List at any time before or during the election broadcast, anywhere you see the following Watch options. Click on the icon to toggle between these states:

Image AddedNot watching the ridinge

Image Added Add riding to Watchlist

Image Added Watching the riding

Image Added Stop watching the riding

 

Once a riding has been added to your own Personal Watch List, as you review election results, you can filter results to the ridings that matter to you most.
