We have published a new interactive map of the 2024 election which shows results by constituency, the most detailed voting data available. The New York Times is also publish this dataset so others can use it.
The map allows most Americans to check how their city, neighborhood, and even neighborhood voted in the race between Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris, and see how voting margins have changed since 2020. It includes currently has results for more than 110,000 precincts, or 73 percent of all votes, and will be updated as more data is collected.
We encourage readers to research their hometowns and other places they have lived, and explore changes since 2020, to learn more about the 2024 election. While Mr. Trump made progress in many areas to take over the White House, the detailed data reveals a range of geographic patterns and shifts for each candidate in different regions of the country.
Why we share this data
To produce the map, the Times spent months collecting results data and precinct boundary files from state and county sources. Each of these entities has its own way of disseminating this data, and there is no national source of this information. This is a time-consuming research effort, which is why we decided to publish the data behind the map to allow others to use it for purposes such as demographic analysis.
You will notice that some parts of the map are empty. We plan to release updates to this and the dataset as we continue to collect and verify results, and a few states are already next on our list. For our initial map, we prioritized gathering the counties with the most votes to include the greatest turnout possible.
However, some states and counties have indicated that they will not provide precinct-level results for all votes cast in the election. Many places do not include early or mail-in ballots in the precinct data they release, and like a majority of Americans now vote early or by mail, we consider the data for these places to be incomplete and do not include them in the map.
How we did it
Collecting constituency data is a unique challenge. In some cases, results were readily available for download in well-formatted data tables. In others, data was trapped in PDF files and needed to be analyzed. In a few places, data-curious people had already collected precinct data and we got permission to incorporate their hard work into our map.
When it came to creating the map, putting the results together into a data table was only half the battle. The other half involved aggregating the data into constituency boundaries, which changed with each new election and had to be collected manually.
Where possible, we have used official constituency boundaries provided by national or local authorities. But the process of matching the results to the boundaries of these precincts varied from fairly simple to virtually impossible, because the precinct names in the results and boundary files were labeled or coded in a way that did not match.
Finally, we verified the information in our map by comparing the votes in each county to the official results. In most cases, the numbers matched perfectly. In a very small number of locations, some data could not be associated with a riding and was therefore not included on the map.
