Connect election data, people, and communities with ArcGIS

Use ArcGIS to share real-time election outcomes and information through maps, apps, and dashboards. Display polling places, wait times, drop boxes, and election results with apps that update automatically for voters and media.

Collect feedback using surveys and map comments, manage volunteers with intake and assignment apps, and publish verified updates from one source to keep the public informed.

Share trusted, up-to-date information

Use ArcGIS maps and apps to share election information, helping voters and stakeholders explore election results and understand election outcomes by location.

Organize and enrich election results data by location

Use ArcGIS to enrich and organize election results so stakeholders can explore outcomes by location:

  • Create interactive maps to feature election results by precinct, voting location, or district.
  • Use dashboards to display voter participation rates, ballot measure outcomes, and comparisons across neighborhoods.
  • Display vote totals and percentages.
  • Filter results to see patterns at different geographic levels.

These can help the public and election administrators understand how specific areas voted and how results vary across a jurisdiction.

Monitor turnout and election results as they happen

Review election results data and voter participation information as they come in—not hours later—with live dashboards and clear map views. Use ArcGIS to map election outcomes by precinct, update authoritative layers in real time, and spot trends right away.

Built-in spatial analysis tools and demographic layers help election administrators explore how turnout and election results vary by location or voting method.

Help voters find answers and information based on where they live

Improve voter participation with user-friendly web applications hosted in ArcGIS.

Using configurable apps, election teams can publish web maps that automatically center on a voter’s location, helping voters quickly find where to vote, access candidate and ballot information, and explore polling place details.

These maps are powered by shared data layers, so information—such as polling place locations, hours, or changes—is updated once and reflected everywhere it appears.

Modernize and streamline volunteer recruitment

Make it easy for community members to volunteer for elections by creating a form-based web application in ArcGIS.

ArcGIS natively optimizes web forms for mobile devices, enabling volunteer recruitment and deployment directly from smartphones or tablets.

Responses are stored as a structured data record tied to a location. Volunteers can then be assigned based on where they live.

Organize and communicate election information in one place

Use ArcGIS to configure a single website that organizes election information in a single platform.

  • Add voting locations tied to details like address, hours, and accessibility information to a searchable map so voters can find them easily. 

  • Embed how-to videos, publish step-by-step voting instructions, and maintain FAQ sections that can be updated as policies or deadlines change. 


Centrally managed content means that updates are automatically reflected across the site and maps.
