How to Create an Election Results Chart
A step by step walkthrough for building a stacked seat or vote bar with a majority line and a previous election comparison in PlotSet.
约 8 分钟You will end up with one stacked bar showing every party's result, a line at the majority, and a thinner bar for the previous election.
Expect about eight minutes. Most of it goes on preparing the data and setting party colours.
你需要的数据
One row per party with its seats or votes, then optional columns for the previous election and a filter column for regions or rounds.
Seats or votes must be plain numbers, with no thousands separators or percent signs.
The previous party column is read row by row, so it can list different parties in a different order.
The current and previous results sit on one sheet as two pairs of columns.
A filter column needs more than one distinct value to show buttons or a dropdown.
操作步骤
PlotSet 中从空白模板到完成图表的具体点击路径。
- 01
Open the Election Results template
From the PlotSet dashboard, start a new project and choose Election Results Chart from the Bar Charts category. It loads with the UK 2024 result against 2019.

每份指南都从这里开始:先选分类,再选模板,不管你要做哪种图表,用的都是同一个网格。 - 02
Add your results
Import a CSV or .xlsx file, paste rows from a spreadsheet, or connect a Google Sheet. Put each party and its seats or votes on one row.

这里的数据视图取自一个条形图项目。你可以上传 CSV、用「Magic Import」从图片里提取数字,或同步 Google Sheet,每种图表类型的面板都一样。 - 03
Check the column bindings
Bind the party and result columns, then the previous party and previous result columns if you want the comparison bar.

绑定决定哪一列作标签、哪一列提供数值、哪一列决定颜色。「Auto Binding」(自动绑定)会根据表头推测,所以要核对一遍,别想当然。 - 04
Set the majority line
In the Majority line tab, set the value where the line crosses the bar. For a 650 seat chamber that is 326.

Election Results Chart 的「Preview」标签页。所有样式设置都在红框标出的这个面板里,每个设置各自占一个标签页:外观、标题、脚注,以及这种图表类型特有的选项。 - 05
Add a filter for regions or rounds
Bind a column such as Nation to the filter, then choose buttons or a dropdown in the Controls tab.
- 06
Set party colours
In the Color tab, give each party its familiar colour so readers recognise it without the legend.
- 07
Tune the labels
The Labels tab sets whether names and numbers sit inside or above each segment, and how small parties are handled.
- 08
Publish and embed
Publish for a live chart and copy the embed code from the Share dialog. Click through each filter value once before you share it.

点「Share」,完成的图表就会变成一个公开链接和一段嵌入代码。

打开模板Election Results Chart 的样式提示
Group the smallest parties
Combine them into Others so every remaining segment is wide enough to label.
Show the change
The change figure next to each result is often the story. Keep it on.
Match party colours
Use the colours readers already associate with each party.
Use the filter, not more charts
One chart with a filter embeds once and stays consistent across regions.
制作 Election Results Chart 时的常见错误
The bar does not fill the width
The segments add up to less than the total. Check for a missing party or a wrong total.
The majority line is in the wrong place
The threshold is a fixed value. Reset it when the chamber size changes between regions.
No previous bar appears
The previous party and result columns are not bound. Check the bindings.
Labels are cut off
Narrow segments cannot hold a name. Group small parties or move labels outside the bar.
