Absentee Files
Below, we have compiled absentee voting data files for 20+ years of general and primary elections. To explore elections data more broadly, visit the Election Night Reporting folder on our FTP site. Files in the table below include:
- Absentee files (statewide and by county), which contain a record of each absentee ballot, including absentee-by-mail ballot requests and one-stop ballots from the in-person early voting period. Each record contains ballot and voter info. For a full list of variables, see the Absentee Layout TXT file. Detailed absentee-by-mail ballot information remains confidential (and is not reported) until the ballot is returned or polls open on Election Day.
- Absentee Counts files (statewide and by county), which contain counts of absentee ballots cast, including those cast in person during the one-stop early voting period, grouped by county and voter demographics. For a full list of variables, see the Absentee Counts Layout TXT file.
- Absentee Request Demographic Stats files (beginning in 2020), which contain counts of absentee-by-mail ballot requests (i.e., number of requests received by county boards of elections) broken down by county and voter demographics, as well as the year and week the request was received. For a full list of variables, see the associated Layout TXT file.
- Absentee Stats / Absentee Request Stats files (for various elections), which are PDFs and Excel (XLS) files displaying absentee-related summary statistics.
Provisional Files
In the table below, we have compiled provisional voting data files from the past 10+ years. The files in the table below contain a record of provisional ballots cast in an election. For a full list of variables, launch the Provisional Layout TXT file.
