Greater London Authority delivers London election results using InstantAtlas
InstantAtlas chosen to deliver highly-interactive atlas of London election results www.london.gov.uk/gla/elections/mayoral/
The Greater London Authority Data Management and Analysis Group (DMAG) selected InstantAtlas from GeoWise, an ESRI Holdings company, to deliver easy to use, highly- interactive atlases of the London Mayor and Assembly Constituency level election results on its website.
InstantAtlas provided a quick and easy, off-the-shelf tool for the DMAG to build interactive presentations of the results without using up valuable resources.
"We had challenging timescales to develop the election results reports. We were able to create, customise and brand them in a few days so they were ready and waiting for the results as they came in,” said Alan Lewis, Senior Analyst within DMAG. “Given the delay in the results being announced due to consideration of second preference votes, it was a late night for us on Friday but the London Mayor atlas was live for Saturday morning and we are very pleased with the online maps".
The highly-interactive atlases produced help communicate the election results in a simple and effective form using InstantAtlas, a powerful data visualisation tool that graphically presents location-based statistical data making local and regional data patterns easy to view and analyse.
Janet Worth, Executive Director Corporate Services, Greater London Authority, said: "I think the presentation of the 2008 Mayoral and Assembly election results using these interactive web pages looks fantastic. They really help to communicate the data in an interesting and exciting manner.”

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HAVE WE REALLY LEARNT THE LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’S FLOODS?
Flooding costs associated with extreme weather, both financial and emotional, have increased considerably over the last decade, and experts have predicted this trend is set to continue.
Paul Livett, Chairman of GroundSure looks into how increasing the use of flood risk information in property transactions can help to ensure both residential and commercial transactions are conducted on a truly informed basis, with buyers being made aware of environmental risks prior to purchase.
Over 2.2 million homes and small businesses in the UK are located in areas considered at risk of flooding, and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said that 570,000 of these face a high risk of flooding. The floods in June and July last year left approximately 48,000 households… More…
