Introducing the Voting Information Project
Americans are looking for easy answers to three basic questions:
Where do I vote?
What's on the ballot?
How can I find out more information?
State and local elections officials can now spend less time and money gathering and sharing voting information. In partnership with a group of state elections officials, the Voting Information Project developed a standard format to easily collect and distribute voting information. Using this open and non-proprietary data format, elections officials can share their voting information securely. Follow the links below or visit About the Project to learn more about how you can help voters get easy access to essential voting information.
On Super Tuesday 2008, over half (56%) of the calls to Election Protection hotlines concerned problems with the polling place, while another third (33%) concerned registration problems. A week later on "Potomac Tuesday", approximately nine out of 10 calls to the same hotlines reported polling place or registration problems – with some voters reporting having been sent to the wrong polling place.
