Hi,

Consider learning how to use a debugger, hopefully there is a GUI one in your IDE :+)

Setup a watch list of variables, step through the program 1 line at a time see how the values change, deduce where it went wrong.

you have

	printHeading();
	printResults(candidateList);
the heading seems fine so let's analyse printResults()

          << setw(8) << lastName << " "; /*the strings are empty, so nothing*/

     cout << right;
     for (int i = 0; i < noOfRegions; i++) /*¿how many times will this execute?*/
          cout << setw(8) << votesByRegion << " "; /*¿printing the same value over and over again?*/
