Voice
Election results carry the voice of voters. SCALP starts from vote totals, vote share, and participation.
Project purpose
SCALP means Suara Cerita Analisis Lensa Politik Malaysia
SCALP is a public lens for reading Malaysian election data. It turns party and coalition results into a market-style dashboard so people can compare votes, seats, activity, and campaign efficiency more easily.
Story
Each party has a story across elections: growth, decline, alliances, missed contests, and comeback signals.
Analysis
The dashboard compares votes, seats, win rates, and estimated campaign ROI instead of showing isolated numbers.
What SCALP helps you answer
- Which party received the most votes in a selected election?
- Which parties are active in the latest GE and which have become dormant?
- Which party improved most in raw votes over the long term?
- How did votes convert into seats won?
- How might campaign spend compare with votes and seats won under a chosen spend assumption?
Data and methodology
SCALP uses ElectionData.MY through a private API proxy so the browser can explore public dashboard views without exposing the API key. The app focuses on party and coalition performance across Malaysian election records, including votes, seats contested, seats won, latest GE activity, and long-term trend windows.
Because Malaysian party names, coalitions, and aliases change over time, SCALP treats the dashboard as an analytical guide. Always check party mappings and election scope before drawing conclusions.
