In this post we document the workflow (using R) to produce a choropleth map and an isarithmic map representing the results of the presidential election in France (2nd round, 7 may 2017).
- Choropleth map of the results of the presidential election
First, we download a shapefile of the municipalities in France (data source : https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/decoupage-administratif-communal-francais-issu-d-openstreetmap (january 2017). We use this shapefile to map the results of the second round of the presidential election (data source : https://public.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/election-presidentielle-2017-tour-2).
