The five-state assembly elections are here.
Polls will be held in Goa, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur, and Uttar Pradesh over the next one month.
Below is the sentiment meter for Uttar Pradesh, created by Rediff Labs.
A mathematical model is used to calculate how seat distribution will be altered as sentiment/percentage of votes towards a contesting political party changes.
Based on the change, each constituency is marked with the winning party.
A swing represents that the victory margin is close to the runner-up.
Move the pointer on the sentiment meter (depending on who you think will get more votes) towards the political parties to see how the outcome is likely to change.
