About ElectioMap
ElectioMap is an independent, non-partisan project that turns official election data into clear, interactive maps — so anyone can follow results from around the world in real time, completely free.
Founded and edited by Bartłomiej Paruzel, Election Data Analyst.
The origin story
ElectioMap was launched on 29 May 2026 by an independent developer passionate about open data and democratic transparency. The idea came from a recurring frustration experienced on every election night: official government results pages are frequently slow, poorly designed for mobile, and hard to read at a glance — especially when you want to compare regions or track live progress.
At the same time, finding reliable historical election results from less-covered countries often meant digging through PDFs, archived government databases, or Wikipedia footnotes. There was no single, clean, free destination that brought it all together.
ElectioMap was built to fill both gaps: a fast, beautifully simple interface for election nights and a growing archive of past results from around the world — all sourced directly from official electoral authorities.
Our principles
Facts only
We publish numbers from official sources and let the data speak for itself. No forecasts, no political commentary, no opinion.
Official sources first
Data comes from national electoral commissions and government authorities — the same figures journalists and international observers rely on.
Always free
The site is funded entirely by advertising. No subscriptions, no accounts, no paywalls — ever.
Fully independent
ElectioMap has no affiliation with any government, political party, candidate or campaign, and endorses none of them.
How live results work
During an active count, our system fetches figures from the official source approximately once a minute and pushes them to the map and results table automatically. The data shown is preliminary — the legally binding result is always the final certified count published by the relevant authority. When a result is certified, the page is updated accordingly.
If an official source is temporarily unavailable, we display the last successfully retrieved figures alongside the timestamp of that retrieval. We never interpolate or estimate missing data. You can read the full details in our Data Methodology page.
Editorial standards
We do not edit, weight, or adjust raw figures. We do not call races, make projections, or offer political analysis. Our Editorial Policy sets out in detail how we decide which elections to cover and how we handle corrections.
Who runs ElectioMap
ElectioMap is built and maintained by a single, named editor — Bartłomiej Paruzel, an election data analyst based in Poland. He is responsible for the entire project: the data-ingestion systems that collect official results on election night, the historical archive compiled from certified government sources, the design of the interactive maps, and every editorial decision about coverage and labelling. There is no anonymous team behind the site and no outside ownership; you can read his full profile, areas of expertise and editorial responsibilities on the author page, or verify his identity on LinkedIn.
We believe transparency about who publishes election information matters as much as the figures themselves. That is why ElectioMap names its author, links every result to its official source, and documents exactly how the data is gathered.
What you'll find on ElectioMap
The site is organised by country. Each country has a hub page listing all of its covered elections, and each election has its own page with the headline result, a full breakdown by candidate or party, turnout, an interactive map of the results by region where official regional data exists, and a written summary explaining the electoral system, the political context and what the result means. Live elections add an automatically updating results table and map during the count.
- Live results — national and regional vote counts that refresh roughly once a minute on election night, drawn directly from the official source.
- Historical archive — certified final results from past elections, recorded exactly as published, so the record does not vanish behind broken government links.
- Interactive maps — colour-coded regional breakdowns you can click to see local figures, for elections where the authority publishes data by region.
- Plain-language context — each page explains the voting system and background so the numbers make sense to a general reader, not only to specialists.
How ElectioMap is funded
ElectioMap is free to use and is funded entirely by display advertising. There are no subscriptions, no paywalls, no user accounts, and no data is sold. Advertising revenue has no influence on which elections we cover or how results are presented — that separation between funding and editorial content is set out in our Editorial Policy. We accept no money from political campaigns, governments, parties or advocacy groups.
Independence and neutrality
ElectioMap covers elections in established democracies and in countries where the conduct of elections is widely disputed. Where credible international observers or official bodies have raised concerns about an election's fairness, we note that context factually on the relevant page, citing the nature of the concern rather than offering our own verdict. Our job is to report the official figures accurately and to give readers the context they need to interpret them — not to tell anyone how to vote or what to think.
Languages and accessibility
Elections are global, so ElectioMap is built to be read globally. The site is available in several languages, and many election pages are localised into the languages most relevant to the country in question. The interface is designed mobile-first — the way most people actually follow results on election night — and offers both light and dark themes that respect your device's preference. The maps and tables are built to stay fast and readable even on slower connections, which matters when you are checking results from a phone during a live count.
A living archive
ElectioMap is not a static site that was finished once and left alone. New elections are added as they happen, and historical results are continuously backfilled from official records — with a particular effort to preserve results from smaller and less-covered countries, where official data is most likely to disappear over time. Over the long term the goal is a comprehensive, reliable and genuinely worldwide record of how people have voted: not just the latest headline, but the full picture of an election and how it compares with those before it.
