Election Administration and Voting Survey, 2008 [United States]

Every two years, the United States Election Assistance Commission collects election administration-related data from 50 states, the District of Columbia, and four territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the United States Virgin Islands). Data are collected at the state and county levels from the entities listed above. This is administrative data collected directly from the states and territories; there is no sampling or weighting of the data involved. Topics include: voter registration, overseas voting, domestic absentee voting, provisional balloting, first-time voters, poll workers, electronic poll books, turnout, and type of voting systems used. The data cover the period from the day after Election Day 2006 to Election Day 2008.
