About Liberia PollTracker

An independent, real-time view of Liberian election results.

What the app does

Liberia PollTracker is an independent, non-partisan tracker of Liberian election results. It follows the presidential, senatorial and representative races in all fifteen counties, from the first precincts to report through to the final tally, and it keeps the live count beside the official record — the 2017 first round and run-off, the 2020 senatorial race and the 2023 general election — so the current cycle can be read against the ones before it.

The dashboard refreshes every thirty seconds, and every thirty minutes a snapshot of each running tally is recorded. That is what turns a frozen number into a moving picture: you can see how a candidate's share has travelled since counting began, which counties are widening a lead, which are tightening, and where a lead has changed hands.

Beyond the vote count, the tracker covers turnout and how it compares with past cycles, which contests are closest, where each race is heading, and reports and images ready to publish or embed.

On the live dashboard

  • One dashboard, three races — presidential, senatorial and representative results live one click apart, each with its own national and county-level view.

  • Front-runner card — the current leader's vote share, vote total, margin over the runner-up, counties won and share of precincts reporting.

  • Vote share and party split — every candidate's share, each party's slice of the vote, and party performance county by county.

  • Trend charts — national share and county margins plotted from the thirty-minute snapshots, so momentum is visible rather than inferred.

  • County and district breakdown — searchable by candidate, county or party, with district and polling-precinct detail behind each county.

  • Interactive county map — every county shaded by the party currently leading there.

  • Lead-change alerts — when a county's lead switches hands the dashboard flags it, and the alerts can be turned off from the admin panel.

  • Verification status — how much of the stored count has been checked against official precinct records.

  • Countdown and live clock — time remaining until polls close, shown in Monrovia time.

  • Past cycles on the same page — 2017, 2020 and 2023 party standings, legislative seat counts, senate winners by county and the county map.

  • Share and embed — a shareable infographic image of the standings, and a live widget any news site can drop into its own coverage.

Analysis and reporting

  • Momentum — each candidate's share in the first snapshot against the latest, with a written daily momentum report.

  • Live vs history — the live share overlaid on a past cycle, plus a candidate-by-candidate graph across 2017, 2020, 2023 and now.

  • Turnout shift and district turnout trends — ballots counted and turnout against registered voters, compared with the same races in earlier cycles.

  • Turnout anomalies — counties whose vote volume or turnout departs from the national trend, graded watch, high or alarm against a stored baseline.

  • District watch — the same check at district and precinct level, so an odd figure can be traced back to the polling site it came from.

  • Leaderboard — races ranked by turnout or by the gap between the top two, the same ranking for a past cycle, and an option to follow one party across every race.

  • Decision desk — where each race is heading: outstanding votes estimated from the precincts still reporting, with races marked lean, projected, called or final, alerts when a race crosses a threshold, and a county-call summary written every hour.

  • Reports — a printable national and county report, and a county PDF for download.

  • AI analysts — two in-app assistants — one reads the live standings and what the latest updates changed, the other sets live results beside the historical record.

How the numbers work

Every figure on the dashboard comes from a stored record that can be traced back to the result it was entered from, and the history stays in place so past cycles remain comparable.

  • One record per tally — a candidate in a race in a place — national, county, district or polling precinct — with votes counted, share of the vote, and, where the count is known, precincts reporting, ballots cast and registered voters.

  • Verified against source — any tally can be marked as checked against official precinct records; the dashboard shows how much of the count has been verified, by whom and when.

  • Counted, not guessed — races move through open, counting, closed and final, and a projected outcome is always labelled a projection. Where turnout cannot be measured, the app says so instead of filling the gap in.

  • Corrections welcome — a misspelled candidate, a mislabelled party or a total that does not match the official tally can be reported through the contact page and is fixed at source.

Who it is for

Voters and community groups who want plain numbers rather than spin; journalists and editors who need a citable live source while a count is under way; civil-society organisations and election observers monitoring how results accumulate; researchers and students working with Liberian electoral data; and party and campaign teams keeping an eye on their own races.

Who builds it

Liberia PollTracker is built and maintained by a small independent team of software developers and data analysts, working on the Base44 platform. We are not affiliated with any political party or candidate, nor with the National Elections Commission. The app is a public information tool: figures come from published results and official reports, and every entry can be checked against its source. If something looks wrong — a misspelled candidate, a mislabelled party, a vote total that does not match the official tally — anyone can tell us via the contact page and we will correct it.
