Election Reports provide detailed, real-time information about the elections you are running, whether you need information about your overall number of voters and votes, IP addresses, demographics of your voters and candidates, or the sources of the votes, for example.
They help provide valuable insights into voter behaviour and trends, giving you a better understanding of your candidates and voters. They also allow you to monitor any potential irregularities or fraudulent activities, such as an unusually high number of votes cast from the same IP address or unusual voting patterns, letting you promptly detect and intervene, preserving the integrity of the election process.

This table lists and describes the available Elections Reports in Elections Admin.
| Report Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| Voting Stats | This report produces the election's vote and voter counts broken down by post, source (if the votes were cast via your MSL website, Polling Station or StudentLink app), and IP address. |
| Voting Profile | This report shows the pattern of voting throughout the polling period. This is broken down by votes, voters, source (if the votes were cast via your MSL website, Polling Station or StudentLink app) and post. A voter can cast their votes over the entire polling period, so if you notice a discrepancy in the number of voters when adding up voters per day, it may be that the voter cast some votes on one day and some the following day, for example. |
| Voter Demographics | This report produces the University data demographic breakdown of voters. |
| Candidate Demographics | This report produces the University data demographic breakdown of candidates. |
