For Researchers

165 years of elections. Cleaned, sourced, and ready to cite.

One place to inspect the map, check the geography, ask the Historian a question, and export the data once you’re ready. Every number shows its work.

What you can actually do with it

Build a county panel across seven cycles. Compare two places across a century. Check turnout shifts against demographics. All without five scripts stitched together at 2 AM.

165 years across states, counties, districts, cities, metros, and media markets
CSV, JSON, and Excel exports that drop straight into R, Python, or Stata
Methodology pages and source citations you can hand to a reviewer

No proprietary SDK. Your stack stays your stack.

We ship an OpenAPI spec. Generate a client in whatever language your lab already uses. Your department doesn't need to adopt a new package to use this data.

OpenAPI 3.1 spec for client generation in any language
The Historian for exploratory questions before you formalize a query
Place pages and maps to sanity-check findings before you publish

How access works

Pro for the individual researcher. Insider for the lab that needs the API and bulk exports. Institutional for the university that wants everyone on the same plan.

Pro: full history, county and precinct depth, unlimited Historian, CSV everywhere
Insider: the API, block-level analysis, JSON/XLSX/PDF exports
Institutional: white-label support and shared rollout for departments or centers

The research workflow

Ready to skip the CSV cleanup ritual?

Methodology-first: sources, conventions, reproducibility, and the export path that doesn’t make you redo your pipeline every five years.
