Described as “the most comprehensive nationwide data on election administration in the U.S.,” EAVS allows users to examine specific data at both the state and local level, as well as compare individual jurisdictions side-by-side.
“The mission of the EAVS has always been to provide data that can be used to improve the way America votes,” said EAC Director of Research Sean Greene. “The EAVS Data Interactive’s features mirror feedback we received from election community about how the survey could be made more meaningful and actionable. By allowing stakeholders to pull the information most relevant to them and comparing these results with other jurisdictions, this new tool gives officials and others the tools they need to make informed decisions about election administration and policy.”
Since 2004, EAC has captured and analyzed data from thousands of jurisdictions across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Results from these surveys have been presented in the biennial EAVS report, providing a detailed look inside the election process and information that can be used to improve future elections and voter experiences.
During the last 12 years, the surveys have demonstrated the impact of policy changes over time and shifting election trends. For example, the findings suggest more Americans vote before Election Day and a larger number of jurisdictions are using technologies like e-poll books.
