Track: Elections, Redistricting, and Census
Authors: Tim Nolan

Collin County, TX utilizes vote centers for local and federal elections. The vote center model allows citizens to vote anywhere in the County they wish. Our GIS team has utilized an ArcGIS Election Polling Places application to help inform voters of where they can cast their ballot in the County. To enhance the voter experience, the County is broadcasting voter wait times at various locations, and updating those wait times dynamically using mobile devices at the polling location.
