Abstract

Who Are Your Elected Officials?
Track: State and Local Government
Authors: Chris Walls

The Indiana Secretary of State's Office has just made finding out who represents you at all levels of government much easier, right down to the township and school board level.

The "Who Are Your Elected Officials? website harnesses the power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to provide the general public an easy-to-use website for finding the elected officials who represent them. Users have the ability to easily and quickly find information on over 12,000 elected officials in the State of Indiana by either clicking a location on the map or by typing in their address. The information for each official (name, phone number, website and email address) is organized into tabs for Federal, State, County, Township, Municipal and School Districts.

The 'Who Are Your Elected Officials?' site may be accessed by visiting http://WhoAreYourElectedOfficials.in.gov or http://wayeo.egis.39dn.com.
