The election results simulator is a basic simulation that allows you to generate a set of results where you decide who wins. You can specify who wins each riding or simply assign a total number of seats for each party and let the simulator decide who gets which riding.

Database Setup

When you launch the simulator you will be first prompted to set the options for connecting to the election database you are using.

It is important to

- select the correct election database
- enter the correct election date

 

Simulation Setup

Once you have successfully connected to an election database instance you will see the main interface for the simulator. Here you can

  • specify a time frame (duration) for the simulation to run.
    • it will update results every 30 seconds incrementing votes and polls reporting gradually 
  • specify votes per riding
    • divided among the candidates in the ridings to ensure the selected party wins the riding
