Where are there higher and lower numbers of eligible, registered voters? What share of current residents voted in previous elections? These are some of the questions we considered while exploring the Secretary of State’s Voter File (July 2020). This project provides maps showing where eligible voters are, and analyzes data about voting behavior in previous elections.

Zoom in to find specific neighborhoods, or look at the whole state to identify towns were there are potential, unregistered voters.
