The project aims to be an aggregator for election information in Romania. The project will contain historic information for elections in Romania, will contain real time results for each election, as it will parse results published by BEC (Biroul Electoral Central) and it will also contain information about the budgets spent during the electoral campaign.
The partial results published by BEC (Biroul Electoral Central) are often raw results that are not easily interpreted and give no meaningful information to regular users. The aim of the project is to aggregate the raw data and provide timely updates on the progression of voting results in Romanian elections.

This project is built by amazing volunteers and you can be one of them! Here's a list of ways in which you can contribute to this project.
You can also list any pending features and planned improvements for the project here.
C# 7
.NET Core 2.2
NuGet
- Amazon S3 Storage
- Amazon DynamoDB
TBD
- .NET Core 2.2 (backend)
- AWS CLI
- NodeJS (frontend)
- Docker (for running localstack or the API on local machine)
cd localstack- Run the localstack image with docker-compose
docker-compose up -d- Add the required configuration settings. Use setup.cmd for Windows or setup.sh for Mac/Linux(remember to install the AWS CLI before this)
.\setup.cmd- this will add two settings called
electionsConfigwhich is the list of elections andintervalInSecondswhich is the background task run interval
- this will add two settings called
- use Visual Studio/Code to start the project, or use the following alternatives
- using the dotnet CLI
cd src\ElectionResults.WebApidotnet run- Or, you can run the Docker image using docker-compose
cd srcdocker-compose up -d
In appsettings.{environment}.json you'll find the following settings:
- bucketName: "code4-presidential-2019"
- the name of the bucket where CSV files are downloaded
- tableName: "electionresults"
- the name of the DynamoDB Table where the JSON statistics are stored
- specifies how much information should appear in the AWS logs
If you run the project on your local machine, you can also modify the file localstack\config.json before running localstack\setup.cmd
- PUT request on /api/settings/election-config with a JSON representation of a list of Election objects. This will overwrite the json from AWS Parameter Store.
- Each Election object has:
- a list of candidates where information about them can be provided(candidate picture, name, CSV column id, etc.)
- a list of BEC URLs, each file has the type of results(provisional, partial or final), location(Romania or Diaspora), URL
- An initial configuration is provided in the file
localstack\config.json
cd tests\ElectionResults.Testsdotnet test
- Request a new feature on GitHub.
- Vote for popular feature requests.
- File a bug in GitHub Issues.
- Email us with other feedback contact@code4.ro
