About IDs
Province
Districts
Polling centers
The ID for polling centers that we use is structured as follows:
:provinceId-:pollingCenterId
For example: 9-915282
The reason to include the province ID, is that the polling center ID reported by the IEC is not unique. Multiple vote counts can be reported for the same polling center ID. In the 2018 Wolesi Jirga elections for example, different vote counts are reported for:
- general population;
- Sikh; and
- Kochi
The IEC data model reports Sikh and Kochi as two separate provinces. As a result, the same polling center ID can appear multiple times.
