The Engineering for Democracy Institute has created tools to help you make data-driven decisions about the allocation of resources in polling locations. The tools rely on data from voting equipment log files to produce polling location simulations. Naturally, the tools can be used separately or in combination with one another, to process, understand, and articulate data. Learn more about and access the tools the EDI team has developed and used to conduct our projects by clicking on the cards below.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n
