Abt SRBI built a custom field mapping application using ESRI ArcGIS API for WPF and ArcGIS Server for the 2012 national election. Over 200 field interviewers were equipped with Windows tablet PCs to conduct a national election survey. From September to December 2012, field interviewers throughout the country conducted in-person pre-election and post-election interviews of randomly selected households. The ArcGIS API for WPF application was built to use GIS data published from our ArcGIS Server in real time to assist field interviewers conduct the door to door surveys. The presentation will include a demonstration of the application, system architecture, results, and best practices of the ArcGIS API for WPF framework and ArcGIS Server 10.1
