Hi,
Of what you describe, the mapit bit is only a tiny part - if you only
want the Welsh Assembly, it's simply request e.g.
http://mapit.mysociety.org/postcode/CF37+1DU (HTML version at
http://mapit.mysociety.org/postcode/CF37+1DU.html ) and look for the WAC
and WAE entries in the JSON response. The other things you ask for (e.g.
adding candidate info) are a bit more complicated :-)
You probably want to check out http://www.yournextmp.com/ which did
something similar to what you describe at the 2010 general election; the
source code is available at https://github.com/evdb/YourNextMP.com
ATB,
Matthew

I'm interested in having a chat to a developer who is familiar with
the mapit API about developing a site/system that could be used in
the context of the Welsh Assembly elections. The idea is to create a
system that would enable users to click a map of Wales / enter
postcode and go through to a page which contains info on their
constituency and regional AM candidates, which a campaigning
organisation would be able to use to create content for each
candidate (e.g. their views on issues concerning the organisation).
