2024 Election Admin and Voting Survey: Kansas and National Data
Published recently by the US Election Assistance Commission
The US Election Assistance Commission recently released its 306-page Election Administration and Voter Survey (EAVS) 2024 Comprehensive Report with national and state details from the Nov. 2024 US general election.
Here “state” means the 50 US states, DC, and US territories.
County and other election jurisdiction details are available in a separate EAVS data file.
This infographic gives a high-level overview of the report:

EAVS Data
Large national file
In addition to the massive EAVS report, the EAC released an Excel file with a staggering 535 columns of data for each of 6461 the jurisdictions (usually counties).
A separate “data codebook” file gives additional information about each of the 535 data columns.
State files
When studying a specific state it may be easier to start with a data file of EAVS data only for that state.
My GitHub repository has separate EAVS Excel data files for each state: US Election Assistance Commission's EAVS data by State.
The “full” 2024 EAVS data file has 6461 jurisdictions and 535 columns.
A “Data Codebook” file shows the EAVS often cryptic column names and the verbose “labels” for the columns.
EAC “jurisdictions” are usually counties (parishes in Louisiana), but some states like New Hampshire and Wisconsin report EAVS data for a large number of voting districts. Alaska, DC and US territories report EAVS data as a single jurisdiction.
An “abridged” state file has many columns removed that only have missing data, or are constant. A state-specific “Codebook” lists all columns with comments about why some were removed in the “abridged” version.
These state files use the more descriptive (but possibly verbose) EAVS “labels” instead of the original column names. The Codebook files show both the short and longer name versions.
Files for each state are in a separate folder in the repository.
Each state “raw data” file has all 535 columns. The “abridged” file for Kansas only has 325 columns for each of the 105 counties.
GitHub repositories are mostly for programmers, so they are not as flexible as they might be. An easy way to download all the state files is to start at the repository’s page, which has some additional descriptive information. Then click on the green “Code” button and select “Download ZIP” to download all files.
