I think you are publishing locations that are too specific. I can identify houses, from which the votes were cast. This information can be abused and is therefore dangerous. Please do not publish such information without informing the user loudly and clearly of the implications of voting.

I think you're absolutely right. I was considering adding some noise to the lat longs collected to mitigate this.

We're looking at the copy (to better highlight what data is stored and displayed).

That would diminish the usefulness of the map quite a bit. People will be interested in this on a ward-by-ward basis - I'm pretty sure. A small random 'shuggle' should be enough to help.
