So many different ways to vote! At the polling place on Election Day, early voting, absentee voting – but there’s a catch… State election laws vary and not all states offer the same methods or options for casting a ballot.
Letting voters know their options is an important service. US Vote’s data set for Voting Methods and Options is contained within the State Voting Information data set. It allows you to provide services that support voters seeking alternatives voting methods that allow them to fit civic participation into their lives.
There is no end to what developers can create with this and other US Vote data sets: bots, apps, website charts, voter alerts and more!
This dataset provides standardized, structured information on voting methods and options available across U.S. states and jurisdictions, including early voting, absentee voting with or without an excuse, vote-by-mail, in-person options, overseas and military voting and more. The data is designed for integration into websites, tools, and civic tech applications. The US Vote API enables developers to deliver accurate, up-to-date voting information directly to end users. Regular updates and documentation ensure reliability, which developers need for innovative implementations that expand voter access and engagement.
