Available Vote Types Report

Description

Not all vote types are available in any particular state or RU. The available data may also change from one election date to another depending on the rules and regulations for a particular election.

The "Available Vote Types" report (also known as "What's Available Where" report) provides state-by-state availability of each vote type for each election date starting from March 1, 2022.
