Combined use of opuy package with Boreluy (R package with electoral data from Uruguay)

The graphic palette presented contains data from four polling organizations on voting intentions for the October 2019 national election. The line and the red dot indicate the result that each party obtained in the election. The horizontal red band is made up of the points of the last vote intention measurement of each polling organization and the result of the election. The red number at the top left of each graph indicates the distance between the last estimate and the result of the election.
