+  In the UK, the state does not provide nationwide data on election candidates.
+
+But everyone — from individual voters to journalists and campaigners — wants this information.
+
+So we created the crowdsourced database of UK election candidates.
+
+The data powers our voter information website, WhoCanIVoteFor.co.uk. It’s also been used by Google, The Electoral Commission, The Guardian and many other organisations.
+
+Since 2015, it has helped tens millions of people to learn about their candidates.
+
+> Democracy Club’s work gathering data on candidates standing for election has been enormously helpful to us.
+  It has allowed us to produce a more detailed analysis of the elections than was possible before and has
+  made the process of gathering candidate data easier. In the absence of a comprehensive, standardised,
+  digital process for reporting the results of elections across the UK, Democracy Club performs a vital
+  role in collecting and distributing this data.

+
+
+### Elections
+
+[Data on UK elections](https://elections.democracyclub.org.uk/) from council by-elections to general elections. We provide an API
+  for looking up elections and ballot papers by postcode as well as tracknig boundary changes
+  and Electoral Change Orders.
+
+Each election and ballot paper is
+[given an ID that we use in our other projects](https://elections.democracyclub.org.uk/reference_definition/).
+
+We track canceled polls, and provide additional data where needed, for example information
+  on the recent voter ID pilots.
+
+
+### Polling locations
+
+The API for our [polling station finder]({% url "projects:polling_one_pager" %}), providing
+  polling station information for UK addresses.
+
+Used by The Electoral Commission, hundreds of councils, political parties and newspapers, this API.

+[Read the API docs](https://wheredoivote.co.uk/api/)
+
+### Candidates
+
+[Data on candidates](https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/help/api)
+for every election for district councils and above. We provide nomination data
+(name, party and area) information as a minumum, with contact info, statements, photos and more
+depending on how well crowdsourced the data is.
+
+Nomination data is verified by at least two people and sources are required for all edits.
+
+The API provides postcode lookup for currnet elections as well as historical
+data back to 2010.
+
+This API has been used by The Electoral Commission's YourVoteMatters site, Democratic Dashboard, Google.

+
+[ElectionLeaflets.org](https://ElectionLeaflets.org) is a service for users to
+  upload photos of election leaflets or fliers that come through their letterbox.
+
+Our ambition is to create a live visualization of the flood of party political leaflets
+  as they are delivered across the country during an election campaign.
+
+If you have recently received any election leaflets through your door you can help by
+  photographing or scanning them and uploading the images to our server.
+
+The idea was conjured up in December 2008 at a weekend in Derbyshire, and finally
+  acted upon in [Francis's](https://www.flourish.org/) front living room in Cambridge at the end of April 2009.
+
+The original name of the website was "The Straight Choice", derived from a leaflet in
+  the controversial by-election in Bermondsey in 1983 which has become the type specimen of
+  accusations of dodgy campaigning. We renamed the site "ElectionLeaflets.org" in August 2010.
+
+Democracy Club took the project on in 2015 and has kept it ticking over since.
+
+We have decided to retire the project unless we get funding to maintain it, or at least to
+  do some much needed updates. We need about £15,000 to get in good shape.
+
+[Caitlin Milazzo at Nottingham University published a paper](http://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/5dKQZDhJDjxFPZwImh8s/full)
+  based on a vast use of
+  ElectionLeaflets.org. She and a co-author analysed the number of times a party
+  leader’s face appeared on the election leaflets delivered at the 2015 general election.
+
+> “The personal characteristics of political elites play an important role in British elections.
+  While the personalization of the media’s election coverage has been the subject of much debate,
+  we know less about the conditions under which voters receive personalized messages directly
+  from elites during the campaign. In this paper, we use a new dataset that includes more than
+  3,300 local communications from the 2015 general election to explore variation in the
+  personalization of campaign messaging. We find that there is systemic variation in terms
+  of where photographs of party leaders are included in election communications, which provides
+  further evidence that campaign messages are deployed strategically to portray the candidate –
+  and their party – in the best possible light.”
+
