Elections
Returns election race information for the specified
filtering criteria (for example, state postal code or office ID), including
updates to vote/delegate/electoral count, race call and candidate information
since the last request and the link to use in the next request. Races
that have been called are the races where a winner has been declared and
the races that are advancing to a runoff.
Important: Requesting
Election Race Information Updates |
|
Throughout the election,
your application polls the API at regular intervals to retrieve
vote/delegate/electoral count updates for each candidate, candidate
information updates and race calls for the races of interest;
for example, all races in your state or Top-of-the-Ticket races
in all states.
The following
workflow is strongly recommended
for requesting updates:
Make
an initial request for the election race information.
Initially, you make a request for all of the races you are
interested in. The response includes reference information
about the races and candidates, vote/delegate/electoral counts,
race calls and the link to use in the next request.
- Use
the returned link to make the next request (for more
information, see Best
Practices). The response includes the races for which
the vote count, race call and/or candidate information has
been updated since your previous request and the link to use
in the next request. You can now repeat this step throughout
the election.
