Elections don't just happen on Tuesdays in November
And since there is no centralized calendar of elections happening in the US...
We built one.
In 2023, we published data for over 3,000 elections.
Nobody covers local elections like we do.
At Democracy Works, we scour our sources to identify when and where elections are happening. Once we learn about an election, we follow up with the appropriate election official to verify that election's date, jurisdiction, deadlines, and other information.
Our research process is designed to identify as many regularly-scheduled elections as possible, and all elections taking place in jurisdictions of at least 5,000 voters.
Our Data
Democracy Works provides comprehensive, reliable data and voting guidance in English and Spanish to assist developers by:
Helping Americans register and vote in every state with requirements, instructions, key changes, and authoritative links to accomplish key tasks on official state websites
Providing data on thousands of elections a year at every level (state-wide to school board and sub-municipal) with key dates and deadlines, election notices, requirements, instructions, and state election office contact information
Our new Elections API offers developers improved capabilities for requesting data, such as providing election data and voting guidance for a specific address, and enabling searches for all upcoming elections for a specific state. Our Elections API also includes new data outputs such as timestamps for deadlines in general elections, sample ballot URLs, and contact information for local election offices
