Electable Riding

A riding can be flagged and highlighted in the Election Results Summary module when it meets defined criteria for being eligible to declare the leading candidate as the winner. It is based on a combination of the

  • lead percent

  • poll percent (or Expected Turnout percent)

values in the riding.

Configurable by Preference Setting

To control the levels at which a riding is identified as being electable you set the custom values in the a Preference module setting named:

Prediction: Electable Lead-Poll Percent Steps.

This preference uses a format: Lead% @Poll%, Lead% @Poll%.

For example 50 @20 means if a candidate has a 50% lead with 20% of the polls reporting then the riding should be looked at to decide if the candidate can be declared elected.

Use Expected Turnout in Analysis

This System Preference is used to switch to using the Expected Turnout values from the ridings when displaying the results charts and in the Electable Riding logic instead of the Poll Percent.
