Abstract

2010 Census and Registrar of Voters
Track: Census and Statistical
Authors: Arnab Bhowmick

Alameda County has been a pioneer in implementing cutting edge GIS technology across various departments including the Registrar of Voters (ROV) to automate election preparation and conducting processes including precinct consolidation, poll station assignment and voting process as a whole. Weston has been working with the County throughout the implementation to enable the staff benefit from GIS at every level of the organization. This has improved the County staff efficiency and the citizens' customer service experience. ROV has been handling elections successfully with lot less preparation time and complexity. Also, the citizens' queries are being addressed satisfactorily in a timely manner. In addition, 2010 census data will bring new challenge to the GIS and other databases to reform boundaries and precincts according to census blocks. Alameda County is gearing up with a web GIS based solution to address the challenge.
