Slide-o-meter Sheets 2024

This is for anyone who wants to be a bit more active on election night rather than just listening to the pundits. You can be your own expert, and track for yourself what's going on. It is resolutely low-tech, but has been proved to be quite fun and copes well when results are coming in fast.

All you need to do is:

Download the Slide Sheets 2024 (8 pages, 131k PDF file)
Print them out
Get some coloured highlighter pens (red, dark blue, orange, yellow, light blue and green)

As results come in, just quickly mark each seat with the colour of the winning party. You will build up a picture of whether the Conservatives or Labour are doing better or worse than expected, and what party(s) might get a majority.

The sheets also keep track of marginal seats, including some high-profile seats which might have a surprise result.

The sheets also contain full instructions for use.
