The first results are not the whole country.

Places report at different speeds. Early returns are not a representative sample of all voters.

Nine provinces. Different stages of the count.

Compare reporting coverage without the distortion of land area.

The ten-second briefing

A clearer way to follow the count.

As results arrive, this briefing explains reporting progress, geographic gaps and what changed. It never fills gaps with a forecast.

What changed this session

One capture cannot tell a time-series story.

Changes appear only after two distinct, timestamped responses from the same event. A refresh of the same snapshot adds no imaginary activity.
