Upload your DUN data
One file can carry every constituency. Columns: dun, kod, daerah_mengundi, saluran, jumlah_pengundi.
Column names and gotchas
Column names
English or Malay both work: dun, kod, daerah_mengundi, saluran, jumlah_pengundi, and also pengundi, pusat_mengundi, nombor_tempat_mengundi.
The kod
In 069/39/02 the last part identifies the daerah mengundi. The first two are the parliament and DUN numbers, shared by every row.
Pusat mengundi
Optional. Leave the column out and each daerah gets one centre named after it. Add it only when a daerah votes in more than one building.
Registered voters
Without jumlah_pengundi turnout is still recorded, but cannot be shown as a percentage and a figure above the electorate cannot be caught.
Add one by hand
Connect WhatsApp
Scan this code with the phone that will sit in the groups.
- On the dedicated phone, open WhatsApp.
- Go to Settings → Linked devices.
- Tap Link a device and scan the code.
Use the number that will stay in the groups all day. WhatsApp does not send earlier messages to a device linked later, so a number added at noon has no morning reports.
Map each group to a DUN
Every constituency reports through its own WhatsApp group. A group with no DUN is ignored.
