A basic election application looks like:

const { app, BrowserWindow } = require("electron");
const path = require("path");

let win;
function init() {
  win = NewBrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    webPreferences: {
      contextIsolation: true,
      nodeIntegration: false,
      preload: path.join(__dirname, "preload.js")
    }
  });

  win.loadFile(path.join(__dirname, "index.html"));

  win.on("closed", () => {
    win = null;
  });
}

app.on("ready", init);

app.on("window-all-closed", () => {
  if (process.platform !== "darwin") {
    app.quit();
  }
});

app.on("activate", () => {
  if (win === null) {
    init()
  }
});
