![](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/109D3/production/_95715086_chart_nonvotetop_birmingham-3.png)

In April 2017 we analysed voting data to [find out how big a role on-voters could play in the General Election if they were to use their vote](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-39642502).

## Get the data

* Analysis: [who would win if non-voters voted for 'None of the above' party](https://github.com/BBC-Data-Unit/non-voters/blob/master/nonvoters_analysis.xlsx)

## Visualisation and interactivity

* Widget: Find your constituency

* Multiple bar chart: English constituencies where non-voters most outnumber those who voted for the winning party (2015 General Election)

* Multiple bar chart: English constituencies where non-voters could have made the least difference to the result (2015 General Election)

* Interactive map: [The untapped power of non-voters in the 2015 General Election](https://danielwainwright.carto.com/viz/53e19788-25a6-11e7-a860-0e3ebc282e83/public_map)
