Live: Taiwan Presidential & Legislative Election Results 2024 by READr

We have improved and developed our election results website, which we create for every election, to provide a better experience for both internal teams and external readers.

Taiwan undergoes significant elections every two years, such as the 2024 presidential and legislative elections. To ensure users can access the latest election results while also exploring historical voting behavior in the same constituency during different elections, READr has integrated data from various elections into an interactive map on the website. Readers can simply click on the map and explore different variables provided on the site to quickly compare election results across the same region for different elections and years.

From a web development perspective, we utilized a modular design concept, treating different webpage components like building blocks that can be assembled and connected seamlessly. The webpage is divided into distinct modules, including a primary interactive map, candidate information, a historical timeline, election variables, and an overview of election results. When users interact with any of these modules, the content updates dynamically across all components. For instance, if a reader clicks on the map to view results for Zhongshan District in Taipei City, the other modules will automatically load the corresponding data for that district, offering a comprehensive view of the information.

For the newsroom, each module can be embedded in various contexts as needed. For example, when reporting on Taipei City election results, there is no need to rely on designers to create additional visuals. By simply adjusting module parameters, the components from the election results website can be embedded as visualized charts directly into articles.
