How does this work?

This tool takes your two postcodes and converts them into a uni constituency and a home constituency.

Then, for each constituency (or 'seat'), we look at 3 different metrics to decide how competitive it is (i.e. whether multiple candidates stand a chance or not). These metrics are: whether it changed hands in the last election in 2019; how big the vote margin was in 2019; and the latest prediction from YouGov for who will win this seat.

Finally, we assign a competitiveness rating to each seat, from "Very competitive" to "Safe seat", and use that to decide which one (if any) is the one where your vote could count the most.

Part B: Apply for a proxy or postal ballot (Optional)
