Do the percentages always add to 100?

Yes. Votes are split as random integers that sum exactly to the total you enter, and percentages are computed from those counts then rounded so the displayed shares add to 100 percent. The leading remainder is assigned to the winner so rounding never breaks the total.

Are candidate and party names real?

No. Names are drawn from generic placeholder pools and parties use neutral fictional labels. Nothing references a real person, party, or actual election.

How is the winner determined?

The candidate with the most votes is marked the winner, and the tool reports the margin over the runner-up in both votes and percentage points. Ties are extremely unlikely given random integer splitting but the highest count always wins.

Can I control turnout or invalid ballots?

The total you enter represents valid votes counted. To model turnout, treat the total as a fraction of an electorate you track separately; this tool focuses on the candidate split of valid votes.

What is the output format?

A JSON object with the constituency, total votes, the winning candidate, and an array of candidates each with name, party, votes, and percentage. It drops straight into a results table or chart.

Election Result Generator

Civic-tech demos, election-night dashboards, and voting-app prototypes all need believable result data before any real count exists. This generator produces a fictional constituency result where the candidate vote shares always reconcile to 100 percent — the detail most ad-hoc random generators get wrong.

How it works

The tool splits the total valid votes into random integer chunks, one per candidate, guaranteeing the parts sum exactly to the total. Each candidate’s percentage is then computed and rounded, with any rounding remainder absorbed by the leading candidate so the displayed shares still total 100:

votes[i]   = random integer split, sum(votes) == total
pct[i]     = round(votes[i] / total * 100, 1)
winner     = candidate with max(votes)
margin     = winner.votes - runnerUp.votes

Candidates and parties come from neutral placeholder pools, so the output is entirely fictional and safe to publish.

Example and tips

A four-candidate contest over 48,000 votes might return a winner on 38.2 percent with a margin of 4,100 votes over the runner-up, the remaining shares filling out to exactly 100 percent. Use a larger candidate count to stress-test how your results table handles long lists, and a small total to confirm your percentage rounding still reconciles. Because everything is fictional it is fine for public marketing screenshots.
