It's not quite finished yet, but we've rolled out an updated version of openelections.net that focuses on the latest updates to our data and has individual state pages. Kick the tires and let us know what you think!

A hex map of the United States, titled "Progress of 2024 precinct data." Most states are still colored grey, indicating that our team hasn't yet cleaned and posted their precinct-level election results. 17 states are now bright pink, indicating that we HAVE collected, cleaned, and posted their data! Pink states are: MT, MN, SD, NH, IL, KY, TN, VA, DE, NC, SC, DC, FL, NM, OK, KS, and HI.

If you've been following our precinct-level data closely, you might have noticed some updates last week! We've now added Hawaii, New Mexico, and Kansas to the 2024 dataset. Check out all of our available states on our GitHub: buff.ly/k6S0zTU

Good morning election friends! We've just launched the 2024 report + data from the Survey of the Performance of American Elections, which examines voter experiences from the perspective of voters themselves. Find it here: buff.ly/F3OWNkP

Good morning, election data nerds! Here's a Monday morning present for you: we've finished updating our county-level presidential election results dataset to include 2024. The full dataset (covering 2000-2024) is now available on our Dataverse: buff.ly/eUGYc1h

Not sure, but with Oregon it might be the case that the hard part is linking precinct names to the actual maps.

And a Missouri statewide precinct file 4 months ago: github.com/openelection...

I mean, we did publish a statewide Oregon file 5 months ago:

Federalism!

There are some states where it might be possible to do this, but we would strongly discourage vibe coding this. It requires substantial domain knowledge.

We have very, very bad news for you about the decentralized nature of election results.

More seriously, there are states and counties that do not post their precinct results online, and those who only post image PDFs, and those who demand payment for them.

Do we know anyone who lives near Karnes County, Texas, and would be willing to go to the county clerk's office in Karnes City, fill out a form and pay $10 in cash for precinct-level election results?

Because that's what they've told us needs to happen.

Borden County, Texas, has a population of ~720 according to the Census Bureau. About two-thirds are registered to vote.

Turnout in 2024 was 16.4 percent.

In one precinct it was 7 percent.

We'll try Gemini, our go-to for this kind of document.
