Florida - Volusia County Supervisor of Elections
Program Title
Mapping Voter Access: Using Geospatial Data to Optimize Early Voting Locations
Program Summary
In preparation for an office relocation, the Volusia County Supervisor of Elections conducted a data-driven review of its eight early voting sites to ensure they were optimally serving voters. The team used geospatial analysis to geocode turnout data from the 2024 general election. This allowed the office to visualize real-time voter travel patterns, distances, and geographic participation trends rather than relying on raw turnout totals. By mapping voter origins against existing locations, the team identified areas where voters faced longer travel times and highlighted opportunities to adjust site locations to improve accessibility, reduce travel burden, and enhance convenience for all Volusia County voters.
