You might have noted that we visualize constituencies and their winners as cartogram. We do this with a similar technique that @driven-by-data.net has already used last year. The method is based on centroids, Delaunay tessellation and a force directed graph layout.

For the German election we wanted to use a cartogram of German election districts but didn't find anything good, so we created our own. Here's a little nerd thread how the final algorithm worked 🤓 🧵 #gis #cartogram #election #datavis #cartography

And for the list votes? Well, we do not rely any more on constituency data level here. We now show the live data at the level of municipalities. Here a screenshot, when first pieces of data came in.
