About VIP
How VIP Works
As an election approaches, VIP works directly with election administrators to receive, review, and approve the most up-to-date information on where to vote and what’s on the ballot. Once approved, the data is made available on the Google Civic Information API. This open format makes official election data available and accessible to all. Plus, you don’t have to know how to code to take advantage of VIP’s dataset! VIP also offers a suite of free-to-use voting location lookup tools.
Why VIP Matters
VIP amplifies accurate election information across the internet by making polling places, early vote and ballot drop-off locations, ballot information, and other official election information easily searchable online on a range of platforms. In this way, VIP has become an essential part of the voting experience for millions of Americans.
