Elevate Transparency: Democratizing Election Data with Tableau

The Board of Elections often faces limitations with transparency to the public. Current applications generate static reports, offering only a snapshot of data without the ability to illustrate real-time data before, during, and after elections. These text-based tables often require IT intervention, causing a delay in updating the citizens of their cities, counties, and states.

Attendees of this webinar learned how Tableau has changed the way the Board of Elections Department handles data. By moving from static reports to real-time dashboards and interactive visualizations, internally as well as externally with public-facing dashboards (embedded analytics), Tableau has expedited the process for Absentee Ballots, Voter Demographics, Election Results, Volunteer Management and Campaign Finance for Contributions.

During this webinar, attendees:

• Explored how the Board of Elections Department can streamline data retrieval and analysis, reducing the time spent on manual processes
• Discovered how Tableau's user-friendly interface empowers both developers and non-technical staff to effectively leverage data
• Learned the fundamentals of embedded analytics and how it differs from traditional analytics approaches
• Learned how to build your dashboards with an embedded analytics structure in mind
