Designing a backend-rendered vote tally layout for campus elections
Design a backend-rendered hierarchical vote tally layout for a campus election system. The structure must represent vote counts broken down by Year Level, then Department, then Course, then Track, in a clearly indented and nested format. No JavaScript data rendering. All data must be passed from the Python backend and rendered using a server-side template engine (e.g. Jinja). Display format requirements: Top-level groups are Year Levels (e.g., “1st Year”, “2nd Year”). Within each year, group by Department (e.g., “CCSICT”), showing its total vote count. Under each Department, display Courses (e.g., “BSIT”, “BSCS”), each with their own total vote count. Under each Course, show individual Tracks (e.g., “Networking Security”, “Web & Mobile App Dev”) with their respective vote counts. Layout style: Use nested indentation or visual hierarchy (margins or collapsible sections if allowed). Each level must display the name and its aggregate vote total. Use bold text or font size to denote hierarchy levels (Year > Department > Course > Track). Ensure consistent padding and alignment across all levels. At the top, include a dropdown to export the vote tally based on scope (Year, Department, Course, Track, or All). Include a "Download" button to submit via POST to a backend export route. Use the following example structure in the output: markdown Copy Edit 1st Year CCSICT – 430 votes BSIT – 250 votes • Networking Security – 140 votes • Web and Mobile App Dev – 110 votes BSCS – 180 votes • AI Track – 90 votes • Data Science – 90 votes 2nd Year CCSICT – 520 votes BSIT – 310 votes • Networking Security – 160 votes • Web and Mobile App Dev – 150 votes BSCS – 210 votes • AI Track – 110 votes • Data Science – 100 votes All data rendering must occur server-side. No client-side script inclusion or manipulation.

I'll create a Python Flask application with Jinja2 templates to render the hierarchical vote tally as requested.
