The August elections for House of Representatives, Fremont Class II Senate, Lincoln Class II Senate, and Southern Class II Senate will take place from Friday, August 23, 2019 through Sunday, August 25, 2019. In addition, due to the May snap election for Fremont Parliament/First Minister, the regularly scheduled election for those positions is being held this weekend as well, with 5 candidates competing for 4 seats and Scott running unopposed for FM.

I'm extremely busy with RL stuff right now and honestly I wasn't even sure if I would make a tracker this election, so I'm not doing the preference tracker with avatars that I did for the Southern/Lincoln legislative races. I'm also not doing a map for Fremont FM, since it's both the only executive election this weekend and is unopposed. Updates to the maps and spreadsheet will occur as soon as it is humanly possible for me to update and upload them, but it may take longer than usual. If the maps are out of date, check the spreadsheet; that will be updated first. The spreadsheet will contain full House and Parliament preference data, as well as crosstabs and turnout data for the major parties and larger third parties, and will also contain sheets for the senate elections. My sleep schedule is screwed up because of night research for the past few weeks so I can't really say when 'dead periods' for updates are most likely to occur.

Around a month ago, I finally found time to combine the PR/UK maps with the US map in a way that is easily editable in paint (without having to color both in separately). So they will be colored instead of grey now, at least.

Gonna leave this 'first-night' update here before I go to bed.

Morning update

These are beautiful, Encke!

Though shouldn't those empty Southern states be red, as Labor currently has a plurality in the South?

I'm counting Lab+Pax and ACP+Fed together for map purposes, mostly cause it's pretty clear what the 'major party slates' are this time around.
