2012 General Election Precinct Results

[dwillis]

Hi! Here is where OpenElections coordinates the work of converting PDFs of election results into CSV (Excel) files. If you have a spreadsheet program like Excel or Google Sheets, you can help!

If you want to work on a county, add a comment saying which one you'd like to work on or email [email protected]. You can either email us finished CSV files or submit a pull request, whatever is easiest. If a box below is checked, that means we've already finished converting it or are working on it right now.

The source files you'll be converting can be found here and have "General" in the name. Many of these are either PDFs or Excel files, and in some cases you'll need to convert a number of office-specific files. For electronic PDFs, we recommend using Tabula, which is free, to extract data. The goal is to create a single CSV file for each county, with the following headers:

county, precinct, office, district, party, candidate, votes

For the following offices: President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Auditor, Commissioner of Agriculture, Attorney General, State Senate, State House. If the files have it, you can also include Registered Voters, Ballots Cast and Straight Party as pseudo-candidate values. You can use the Kanawha County file as an example of how things should look.
