Iranian elections results, 2009

There's an intriguing social data experiment happening when we publish data to Google Spreadsheets from The Guardian Data Store.

 

You can see who else is looking at the data and chat with them in real time in the panel on the right-hand side of the spreadsheet.

 

This post on the Data Blog is the official Iran elections data by province.

 

"What really happened in Iran during that election count? As thousands protest against the results and demonstrate, we've gone to the Iranian Ministry of the Interior to get the official version of events.

 

We've then got the Presidential Office's eligible voters by region data to so we can work out what the turnout as in each case. Whether you believe over 99% turnouts anywhere is one thing, but this data is only the beginning."

If you open the spreadsheet right now you might find other people looking at it at the same time.
