Thematic mapping of different types is a powerful way to display election data for analysis. At the last ESRI user conference in San Diego in July 2024, different ways to map the results of the last U.K. parliamentary election were shown. In particular, how the thematic mapping changed from the previous election. The following posts discuss how each presenter went about their mapping tasks: 

Kenneth Field at https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/a-melange-of-maps/ and John Nelson at https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/how-to-make-this-thematic-map-and-stuff/

Some fantastic examples of authentic and useful thematic mapping. We look forward to see similar maps for the next Federal election in Australia in 2025 (to be held  on or before 27 September 2025). Keep posted - there should be some great data to map after the election.
