Voter record point data against a census block polygon layer
DNC National Election Precincts Dataset Development for 2008 Presidential Campaign
Challenge
Map the Vote, working with data from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) wanted to create a national election precinct GIS. But the costs and time required to produce the precincts layers using traditional GIS drawing methods were cost and time prohibitive.
Solution
Farallon developed automated geodatabase techniques and spatial analysis algorithms to process and validate millions of voter records. This enables organizations to cost-effectively microtarget voter turnout efforts for the 2008 Presidential campaign.
San Mateo County Voter Registration
Challenge
The County's Clerk-Assessor-Recorder-Election Departments (CARE) were required to implement and monitor a countywide voter outreach program to target underrepresented communities in the county. CARE needed a quick and accurate visual representation of the disenfranchised Latino and Chinese-American communities in order to appropriately plan voter outreach activities.
Solution
Farallon Geographics integrated precinct information from the existing enterprise GIS with Census information to visually identify communities that had high ethnic concentrations with low voter registration.
