Roles involved: Data, design and web implementation

February 2016

During the campaign, The AP tracked the number of primary delegates won by presidential candidates in each primary, convention or caucus and interviews Democratic superdelegates to obtain their preferences. The interactive serves as a live dashboard of delegates allocation.

I worked on the library part which takes data from the AP Elections API and feeds into the front-end interactive. Working with two colleagues in DC, I designed the layout and launched the tracker before March 1.

The overall bars show the total number of delegates each candidate has got:

The bottom table shows state results after the state conventions, primary or caucus:
