Context

The data represent the polling station presence during election day in Romania.

Content

The data is collected continuously from polling stations. In Romania, the vote presence is registered instantly in the polling station, at the entrance to the polling station every citizen presenting his ID card. His data is collected (mainly to prevent multiple votes), all data being centralized to a server. The data is updated every hour, so we will see data for each hour from 7 am to 21 pm.

Inspiration

You can follow patterns of voters presence to the polling station. What counties votes earlier? Which polling station has the maximum number of votes? Are there polling stations with more voters than registered voters? Are cities or large towns voting earlier or later than small villages? Are older people voting earlier or later? Who is voting more, the males or females? Do we see variations according to age, sex, town vs. village?
