Layman description:
Predikon provides predictions about votes in Switzerland, as soon as municipal results are published by Swiss cantons starting at 12:00 pm on the day of a vote.
Technical description:
We designed a predictive model of the municipal results (in percentage of "yes") for Swiss votes. Based on past results, our model automatically learns features of municipalities. On the day of a vote, and as soon as some municipalities publish their results (their percentage of "yes"), our model uses the features to predict the unpublished results of other municipalities. The prediction of the national vote result is obtained by aggregating published results and predicted results.
