While my maps aren't the best or most impressive things out there, I love creating them for Wikipedia because they can bring more insights into elections that aren't possible just through boring text, especially for visual learners. Feel free to help me in my goal of mapping every election possible :D
Tutorials and DatabasesTo create a map, you first have to find a shapefile if an svg of the thing you're trying to map isn't on wikimedia commons. Then, once you find a shapefile (it has to be under a creative commons license) plug it into https://mapshaper.org/ and convert to an svg. Then import it into https://inkscape.org/ or any app that allows for svgs and edit it how you please for the election. Category:WikiProject Elections and Referendums has some established colors for parties in several countries. I prefer these colors TutorialsTutorial to make simple vector maps for more recent US elections: https://x.com/_JeanLannes/status/1798783616882741584 Tutorial to make simple vector maps for old US elections: https://x.com/FoundFiend574/status/1661784136779018258 DatabasesAnyFor most elections, the Humanitarian Data Exchange is useful as most stuff on there is under some kind of Creative Commons license USFor historical county boundaries: Atlas of Historical County Boundaries For historical congressional district boundaries: https://cdmaps.polisci.ucla.edu/ NigerianFor Nigerian elections, Grid3 has a dataset of administrative boundaries for each state MappingMissing data
