When you review election results, Elector offers you many ways to stay on top of important events. You can:

• filter the data for interesting seat changing scenarios
• identify areas of interest and filter on Interesting Events data only
• review data on your own Personal Watch List or a Named Watch List of ridingsriding watchlist data

Interesting Scenarios

For example, Elector makes it really easy to get an instant snapshot of such as which ridings are moving from one party to another, what ministers are losing or have lost their seats, what incumbents are keeping their set, and so on.

Elector also makes comparing mid-poll counting and final tallies quick and simple throughout the fast-paced election night.

1. From the Home page, select Image Removedclick Image Added or select Election Status > Election Status & Candidate InfoResults > Riding Detail.
2. Select the Interesting Scenarios option.
3. Select an Interesting Scenario from the list. All ridings that currently match the scenario appear in the Ridings list. Select a riding to drill-down into further details.

Interesting Events

When candidate information is added to Flow, candidates can be flagged with specific Candidate Interest Option flags to help bring interesting candidates to the forefront of your results filtering on election day. These interest flags, as well as incumbent status, allow Elector to track these candidates as results become available. For example, a candidate can be flagged as a party leader or political veteran.

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.

When you see the star icon in Flow, you instantly know that something noteworthy is happening related to at least one candidate. For example, the incumbent for a riding who starts trailing the leader in their riding by 10% of the votes is interesting. Elector creates an Interesting Event for this candidate.

Each Interesting Event is time-sensitive and includes a real-time age stamp. As updated 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.
