We begin our project with one question: how we could help our audiences to understand the constitutional process and get to know the candidates that aspired to be part of the organ that would write the new Chilean constitution (and their positions on key topics).
After a year, several iterations and products, we created an interactive, intuitive, easy, and entertaining tool to help people to be involved and participate in such an important election process we had during 2021. At the same time, we built datasets with information that no other media had and that let us publish relevant and interesting analyses about the elected bodies and the possible political outcomes of these elections in the future of our country.

Your Electoral Match: Presidential elections and Congress
For the presidential, senatoria and deputies election we upgrade our game. We had our traditional match running, but also, with the help of the data scientist Jorge Fábrega, developed an “ideológical map”, using the scaling method NOMINATE, visualizing one ax graphic for the Congress, and two axes -like the classic Political Compass- for president.

Your Constituent Match
We chose to play with the concept of 'make a Match' -from dating apps like Tinder- with the candidate which had more in common with every person, crossing the answers that every candidate responded in our survey with the answers from the users.

Who are the candidates for constituents in your district?
We built a dataset with detailed information of all the 1400 candidates to the Constitutional Convention, even before the Electoral Service published the official list. It has become an “alternative Wikipedia” for the constitutional conventionals.
