I hadn't thought about it before but it seems a little surprising to me that QR codes aren't more prevalant on TV. Is there any Ofcom thing about obfuscated (i.e. non-human readable) info like that?
I can't say anything about Ofcom rules, but it is quite common to see QR codes on Japanese television. They're especially common on NHK during natural disasters, when they're used to direct people to relevant info.
But, just to be different, there is also a QR code to their results website in the bottom-right!

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but it's good to remember that many of these numbers are projections (educated guesses) as opposed to actual confirmed results - that's why they will vary more between broadcasters (particularly compared to UK general election results, which are only counted after the declaration).

How do ITV get their results coming in from all of the Electoral College votes when compared to the BBC?
