Data on Ethiopia’s 7th General Election. # electionwatch.et An independent civic project publishing open data for Ethiopia's 7th General Election: the declared results, party debate positions, the full candidate lists, and the polling stations where people vote. **Live at electionwatch.et** ## Data Everything comes from material published by the National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE). The repository is split into the data pipelines that prepare it and the website that presents it: - `transcripts/` — official party debates: transcribed, then analysed into per-party positions with citations back to the source video. - `candidates/` — the full HoPR and Regional Council candidate lists, parsed from NEBE's PDFs, cross-linked to parties and polling stations, and annotated with the number of council seats each constituency returns (HoPR is single-member; Regional Council constituencies are multi-member). - `polling-stations/` — every registered polling station, with NEBE-published GPS coordinates where available. - `symbols/` — the ballot symbols matched to each party. - `results/` — the declared results: seats won per party, the elected members, and every candidate's vote count, matched back to the candidate lists. - `website/` — the Astro site that renders all of the above. Each pipeline preprocesses its source into website-ready JSON; the website does no heavy joining at request time. ## Development ```bash cd website pnpm install pnpm dev ``` ## Build ```bash cd website pnpm build pnpm preview ``` ## Contributing Found an inaccuracy, or have an idea for a dataset or feature?
