Visualizing Conflict and Consensus: Dynamic Heatmaps for Real-Time Voting Analysis

Inspired by García-del-Valle-y-Durán et al. (2022), who introduced 2D color heatmaps to compare consensus and conflict in voting outcomes, this idea extends the approach by developing a dynamic, interactive visualization platform. Users could upload real or simulated preference profiles, and the tool would display how consensus/conflict patterns shift as voter preferences change, or as different rules (Borda, Condorcet, hybrids) are applied. This could include layers for showing the cost/effort of reaching consensus, susceptibility to paradoxes, or the influence of voting blocs. The novelty is in making complex social choice phenomena intuitively accessible to policymakers and the public, serving both as a research tool and a transparency aid in real elections.
