The Irish Gaelic Times has created a unproblematic interactive choropleth map which effectively shows the landslide victory for the 'Yes' vote across nearly the whole of Ireland. The Irish Gaelic Times Referendum Results map uses merely 2 colors (blue for 'Yes' in addition to ruby-red for 'No') to demonstrate the overall final result inwards each constituency. Using solely 2 colors for the map's choropleth color ramp is an effective means to visualize how every unmarried constituency inwards the country, apart from Donegal, had a bulk voting 'Yes'.
Of shape in that place were diverse levels of back upwardly for the 'Yes' vote inwards the dissimilar constituencies. The Irish Gaelic Times map shows this yesteryear allowing users to hover over each constituency to encounter the per centum of 'Yes' in addition to 'No' votes. The map also has the option to hold back a picayune to a greater extent than closer at the 'Yes' in addition to 'No' votes inwards each constituency.

The Guardian's choropleth map of the plebiscite results uses to a greater extent than colors. Under 50%, or a no vote, is shown inwards red. So Donegal yet stands out on the map every bit the solely constituency where a bulk voted 'No'. The Guardian's last of six colors to demonstrate the dissimilar percentages for voting 'Yes' reveals that constituencies inwards Dublin (the cut-out map) were most strongly inwards favor of repealing the 8th.
It is a picayune likewise simplistic to tell that back upwardly for the 'Yes' vote well-nigh radiates out from Dublin but the map does demonstrate a pocket-sized tendency for back upwardly for the 'Yes' vote to autumn away a picayune the farther a constituency is from the capital. However in that place are in all likelihood likewise many outliers to this full general tendency to laissez passer it likewise much significance.
