The map waits for the data

Election Day: Naija is fiction. Its polling-unit finder is not.

Election Day: Naija is a game about a fictional election day. Its polling-unit finder is not fiction. It points to real places, and someone may use it to decide where to go.

So the finder has one rule: it does not go live until the data is right.

Right means three checks. The imported records add up to INEC's published totals. No polling unit appears twice. Every unit sits in the ward it is listed under.

If a check fails, the finder stays off and the rest of the game ships without it. A game can be late. A wrong address on election day sends someone to the wrong place.
