Electoral Calculus is a pollster and political consultancy specialising in quantitative analysis and modelling for electoral and other market research projects. It was founded by Martin Baxter, its CEO.
A well-known public side of the company is its website (www.electoralcalculus.co.uk) which provides analysis, comment and predictions of general elections, polls and democracy.
Political quantitative analysis can give a unique insight into elections at national and local level. Tools available include result prediction, estimation of likely results under client-chosen scenarios, analysis of the link between national and local results, and real-time election result analysis. Additionally the tools developed can also be used in non-political market research contexts to extrapolate national market research results down to fine-detail local geographical levels.
Electoral Calculus has built a reputation over the years as a trusted provider of electoral facts, data and predictions. It has pioneered new electoral models and user-defined predictions, as well as giving individual constituency drilldown to ward level. It is regularly cited in the national press, and is consulted by MPs, candidates and opinion formers.
Electoral Calculus is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.
