Charting Paths to a Women’s Majority by Graphicacy

"Charting Paths to a Women's Majority," developed by Graphicacy for Vote Run Lead (VRL), visualizes strategies for achieving women's majority in state legislatures. With women currently comprising just one-third of state legislators despite their vital perspective on key issues, this interactive platform combines storytelling and data exploration. Graphicacy developed two complementary components. The scrollytelling narrative delivers context while outlining the overarching goals and areas of opportunity. Meanwhile, an interactive data explorer gives users potential strategies and outcomes at the state level. Users can scroll through current conditions around themes like incumbency, open seats, and win rates. They can also take a deeper dive, adjusting inputs for each state to see how changing certain conditions can move women closer to a majority.
