Support ElectionMapsUK

Running ElectionMapsUK is a genuine passion. I started this project because I believe that understanding our democracy shouldn't be difficult. My goal is to create clear, accurate, and insightful maps and data visualisations that make the complicated world of UK elections accessible to everyone.

Every map, projection and new website feature is a product of many hours of research, data analysis, and design. It's a labour of love, but it also involves real-world costs in both time and money to keep the project running and constantly improving.

Why Your Support Matters

To keep ElectionMapsUK independent and consistently updated, I rely on the generous support of this community. Your contribution, no matter the size, goes directly towards covering the essential operational costs that make this work possible.

Where Your Contribution Goes:

• Website: Covering the annual fees for the electionmaps.uk domain name and our Squarespace website hosting.

• Software: Essential software subscriptions are vital for creating high-quality content. This includes Adobe Photoshop for map design and X Premium to effectively share and analyse results on social media.

• Hardware: Occasional hardware upgrades for the computer that crunches the numbers and renders the maps, ensuring I can produce work quickly and efficiently, especially on busy election nights.

• My Time: This is the most significant factor. Your support allows me to justify dedicating hundreds of hours to this project, ensuring the content keeps coming.

Thank you for being a part of this community. Your support, whether it's a donation or simply sharing my work with others, is what keeps ElectionMapsUK going.
