Election compass (Finnish Vaalikone)

An application for finding a candidate to vote for in an election, based on similarity of answers to a questionnaire. Instead of answering the entire questionnaire (which is more traditional application hosted by Finnish media companies), this app encourages the user to only select a few questions they care about the most and shows the results in real time.

Data

An open dataset (CC BY 4.0) from the Finnish newspaper is linked as a Git submodule. Scripts for parsing it to a form usable by this web app are also included. (Try ./data-scripts/parse-avoindata.sh). It is possible to use this app with other similar datasets of similar size.
