## Installing
### Installation
You can install this module with the following composer command.
```
composer require localgovdrupal/localgov_elections
```
#### Libraries
The libraries required by Charts/Highcharts are included, by default via CDN. If you wish to have these locally follow the instructions at https://www.drupal.org/docs/contributed-modules/charts/50x-getting-started#s-using-composer-and-wikimediacomposer-merge-plugin which uses the `composer.json` provided by the Charts module to install.
#### Submodules

1. LocalGov Elections Reporting ONS Wards 2023 - Boundary source provider for Office of National Statistics 2023 Wards

4. LocalGov Elections Reporting Demo - Demo content to help with testing/evaluation
5. LocalGov Elections Reporting - UK Parties - Adds the majority of UK political parties to the party taxonomy.
Further details for these modules are in their own module READMEs and the [Documentation](docs/index.md).
## Issues
If you run into issues using this module, please report them
at https://github.com/localgovdrupal/localgov_elections/issues
### Known issues
#### Node Revisions
Revisions do not currently work with the 'Areas vote' content type.
We have implemented a work around to mitigate the situation by preventing
the creation of revisions for the candidate paragraph entities.
We are tracking this in issue
[#94](https://github.com/localgovdrupal/localgov_elections/issues/94).
For the time being, we suggest not using attempting to use revisions with
'Areas vote' nodes.
If you have Localgov Workflows turned on, it will enable 'Create new revision'
by default. This should not be a cause for concern, as the problematic candidate
paragraphs are being forced to ignore revisions.
If you have any questions or problems, please ask in the #feature_elections
channel in the LocalGov Drupal Slack channel.
