L2 National 2024 Early Voting Return Data Sample (10k/11M)

"Early Return" voting data* offers a real-time snapshot of electoral trends, enabling campaigns, political analysts, and media organizations the ability to make informed decisions and strategic adjustments ahead of election day. This data not only reflects early voting patterns but also helps in understanding demographic engagement, regional preferences, and potential turnout rates. Utilizing L2's over fifty years of experience in enhanced voter data through Snowflake amplifies these benefits by leveraging a highly scalable and secure cloud-based platform to access enriched and meticulously curated voter information.

L2 receives files from many states, the data from 20 states is immediately available and more to follow, providing the consumer with a list of the specific individuals that have requested, been issued, or returned a mail-in ballot or voted early in person. L2 matches those data back to the state and national voter file which allows us not only to see the number of voters that have participated, which is widely available, but we go a step further and match back those known early voters back to our rich file voter/demographic/consumer insights for each voter.

The L2 National Voter File is a collection of all currently registered U.S. voters. The database is created from frequently-refreshed state and county public registration files and then enhanced with telephone numbers, rooftop lat/longs, modeled data, census data and multiple sources of commercial data. Voter registration data, as provided by each state, always includes names, addresses, political district assignments and uniform voting history (detailed voter history available on demand).

Those data typically also include registration date, gender, party affiliation and birthdate or age. L2 matches highly accurate telephone numbers into these files including individual cell phone numbers for 30% or more of the voters as well as landlines. All telephone numbers are cleaned by purging known disconnected numbers from L2's proprietary and unique collection of nearly 150,000,000 known disconnected numbers.

Modeled data includes likely party affiliation (where that is not provided by the state) and lifestyle indicators. Commercial data fields cover a very broad range including home and lifestyle, buying habits, contributions, likely income and education, property values, occupation and much more.

The L2 National Voter File is used by the country's leading universities and public opinion pollsters for research, by all the leading cable and broadcast networks for targeting political advertising, by nearly half of all members of Congress for constituent contact and by political campaigns from the presidential level down to local city council races seeking to reach and persuade voters.
