General Forecast Styleguide

Introduction

This documentation is intended to be both a guide during the development of FiveThirtyEight’s 2020 General Election Forecast and an overview of our work for the newsroom at large. If you’re a non-FiveThirtyEighter looking at this page, please note that this is a living style guide which means: things change on it all the time! Some of the design references have outdated elements or pieces that aren’t set in stone.
