Presidential precinct data for the 2024 U.S. general election

The New York Times collected and standardized precinct-level election results from around the country, and joined this tabular data to G.I.S. precinct data to create a detailed nationwide map. This map is still a work in progress as we continue to collect and standardize data from more states and counties, and some places are not expected to publish precinct-level data. The data links on this page will be updated occasionally along with our map.

General caveats

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions about data quality or sourcing beyond the caveats we describe below.

• The 2020 election results that appear in our interactive map are primarily from the Voting and Election Science Team (see additional data notes below for exceptions). Shift in margin from 2020 was calculated by reallocating 2020 precinct results into 2024 precinct shapes using this method. Some 2020 data is omitted from our map because of methodological differences between the 2020 and 2024 data sets.
• We used official precinct boundaries provided by states or counties for most of the places in our map. When official boundaries were not available, we created approximate precinct shapes using points in the voter files by L2, a nonpartisan voter data vendor. This results in generally accurate precinct boundaries, but the shapes can be more approximate in no- or very-low-population places.
  • Because of this, spatially joining the precincts in our data without official boundaries is likely to yield less-than-ideal output.
• In the following states, precinct results in some counties were not included in the map because these counties reported absentee votes at the countywide level rather than at the precinct level: Idaho, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
• Some of the results we gathered are slightly incomplete:
  • Wherever write-ins are not reported by the data source, our vote totals are marginally different.
  • A very small portion of the tabular precinct results (roughly 0.1%) could not be joined to the precinct boundaries, and thus these results are not present in the data.
• Our map uses township-level data in much of New England. We will replace it with precinct-level data as it becomes available.
• A small number of precincts contain no votes or have so few voters that their vote data is redacted by officials. Those precincts are excluded from the data.

State by state data and caveats

symbol	meaning
✅	have gathered data, no significant caveats
⚠️	have gathered data, but doesn't cover entire state or has other significant caveats
❌	precinct data not usable

One of the most common causes of precinct data being unusable is “countywide” tabulations. This occurs when a county reports, say, all of its absentee ballots together as a single total (instead of precinct by precinct); because we can’t attribute those ballots to specific precincts, that means that all precincts in the county will be missing an indeterminate number of votes, and therefore can’t be reliably mapped. In these cases, we drop the entire county from our data.

Additional state data notes

• In Virginia, provisional votes for each candidate were reported at the county level rather than at the precinct level. The Times allocated these votes to precincts according to each candidate’s share of the precinct-level reported vote.
• In Michigan, the city of Detroit reports its absentee votes in counting boards, which often span multiple precincts. For the 2024 data, The Times obtained a list of precincts that correspond to each counting board from the Detroit city clerk, and precinct results were aggregated into counting boards. For 2020 data, The Times obtained precinct results from the Wayne County Clerk and aggregated Detroit’s votes into counting boards using a list of precincts from OpenElections. In Ionia County, votes were reported at the township level rather than at the precinct level, and that is what is shown on the map.
• In Arkansas, precinct results for Phillips County could not be joined to geographic shapes.
• The 2020 election results for New York were provided by Benjamin J. Rosenblatt.

Data dictionary

Each precinct in the data has the following properties:

• state: state postal abbreviation
• GEOID: unique identifier for the precinct, formed from the five-digit county F.I.P.S. code followed by the precinct name/ID (e.g., 30003-08 or 39091-WEST MANSFIELD)
• votes_dem: votes received by Kamala Harris
• votes_rep: votes received by Donald J. Trump
• votes_total: total votes in the precinct, including for third-party candidates and write-ins when available
• pct_dem_lead: (votes_dem - votes_rep) / (votes_total), with four significant digits (e.g., -0.2134)
• official_boundary: true if the precinct’s shape came from a file that was provided by the state or county, false if the precinct boundary was estimated (see caveats below)

How to open these files

You can open the TopoJSON and GeoJSON files using software that can handle geographic data formats, such as Mapshaper, the sf library in R, the GeoPandas library in Python, or QGIS. The TopoJSON and GeoJSON files we provide are broadly interchangeable, but the TopoJSON files are, on average, much smaller.

You can open the CSV files using software that can handle tabular data formats, such as the tidyverse collection in R, the pandas library in Python, or Excel. Mapshaper also supports tabular data.
