Overview of Election Audit

The purpose of the Project is to to complete the audit using Python and to print the results to the Command Line also, to save it to a Text File.

The requirenebts to complete the audit are:

1. Calculate the total number of votes cast.
2. Get a complete list of candidates who received votes.
3. Calculate the total number of votes each candidate received.

6. The voter turnout for each county.
7. The percentage of votes from each county out of the total count.
8. The county with the highest turnout.

Election-Audit Summary

This script could be used for any election with some easy script modification and additional data.

For instance, with added data it can be used to get result of budget, age, sex of candidates and so on. To analyse "budget" modification is place of counties by changing the index and renaming related variable. The change should be here:

Additionally, the script can be modified to select winner candidates in each county. A pseudocode of modification can be following: loop through counties and candidates with condition such as: if the most popular candidate in a county then add to a new dictionary of county with candidate. Then, print results or print a winner as the most popular candidate in county by comparing elements of dictionary. The code should be modified in part of loop with condition in the attached screen:

and here modified or aded:
