Vote centers are an alternative to assigned polling places, where jurisdictions host fewer voting locations but allow residents to vote at any location. Vote centers have expanded rapidly over the past few years. Our research team has compiled a database of jurisdictions that have adopted vote centers. We have documented at least 625 counties serving over 69 million registered voters (roughly 30% of the nation’s electorate) in 19 states that have implemented vote centers for Election Day voting. While vote centers began roughly 20 years ago, most of the adopters shifted to vote centers after the COVID pandemic in 2020. Our website and database provide critical information for researchers and practitioners, finding that tens of millions of voters cast their ballots in jurisdictions that use Election Day vote centers.
